Answer:
a. 3/4 inches per minute
b. -1 1/8 inches per minute
c. B is fastest; 1 1/8 is more than 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
A <em>change</em> is a <em>difference</em>. A <em>rate of change</em> is <em>one difference divided by another</em>, usually the change in y-value divided by the change in x-value.
__
<h3>a.</h3>
The change in elevation is the difference between the elevation at the end of the period (6 inches) and the elevation at the beginning of the period (3 inches). The change in time period is the difference between the end time (8 min) and the beginning time (4 min).
change in elevation per minute = (6 -3 inches)/(8 -4 min)
= (3 inches)/(4 min) = 3/4 inches/minute
__
<h3>b.</h3>
Similarly, ...
change in elevation per minute = (3 -7 1/2 inches)/(18 -14 min)
= (-4 1/2 inches)/(4 min) = -1 1/8 inches/minute
__
<h3>c.</h3>
We know that 3/4 is more than -1 1/8, but when we talk about the "fastest rate of change", we're generally interested in the magnitude--the value without the sign. That means we understand a rate of change of -1 1/8 inches per minute to be "faster" than a rate of change of 3/4 inches per minute.
The rate of change from Part B is fastest. 1 1/8 inches per minute is more than 3/4 inches per minute.

(2,1) is the solution because its where they both intersect..
Answer:
1) Function h
interval [3, 5]
rate of change 6
2) Function f
interval [3, 6]
rate of change 8.33
3) Function g
interval [2, 3]
rate of change 9.6
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
To find the average rate of change, we divide the change in the output value by the change in the input value
the average rate of change is equal to
step 1
Find the average rate of change of function h(x) over interval [3,5]
Looking at the third picture (table)
Substitute
step 2
Find the average rate of change of function f(x) over interval [3,6]
Looking at the graph
Substitute
step 3
Find the average rate of change of function g(x) over interval [2,3]
we have
Substitute
therefore
In order from least to greatest according to their average rates of change over those intervals
1) Function h
interval [3, 5]
rate of change 6
2) Function f
interval [3, 6]
rate of change 8.33
3) Function g
interval [2, 3]
rate of change 9.6
