Answer: The average rate of change between 0 seconds and 1.25 seconds is -20 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the ball can be described by the equation

h(t) = 64m - (16m/s^2)t^2

Where we want to find the average rate of change in the first 1.25 seconds that the ball is in the air, we can do this by finding the slope that conects the points h(0s) and h(1.25s).

h(0s) = 64m

h(1.25s) = 64m - (16m/s^2)*(1.25s)^2 = 39m

now, remember that the slope between two points can be written as:

s = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

where y2 = h(x2) and y1 = h(x1)

so we have that the average rate of change:

s = (39m - 64m)/(1.25 - 0) = -20m

Then we have that the average rate of change betwen 0 seconds and 1.25 seconds is -20m

Answer:

rate of change = -32 feet/second

Step-by-step explanation:

h(t) = 64 – 16t2

t = time (seconds)

Look at the start of time where t = 0

h(t) = 64 - 16 * (0) * 2 = 64 feet

Then look at the specified time where t = 1.25 seconds

h(t) = 64 - 16 * (1.25sec) * 2 = 24 feet

rate of change = rate of change y / rate of change x

x = time, y = height

rate of change = (24 - 64) / (1.25 - 0) = -32 feet/second

Answer:

  C.  (-4, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point where the lines cross is the solution to both equations. That point is in the third quadrant, where both coordinate values are negative.

The x-coordinate of the point is listed first, so the solution is ...

  (x, y) = (-4, -3)
