Answer:

Option A; 74.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

~ Here we can see that this problem is set to be so that compound interest is applied ~

1. If compound interest is to be applied, it would be that the "20 percent" is the interest, the principle number ( start value ) ⇒ 12 feet in height, and the time is 10 years.

2. Let us approach this problem step by step. Instead of substiting values into a compound interest formula, let us simply attempt a variation of that process...

3. 20 percent is, in a decimal form, ⇒ 0.2

4. Now add 1 to this value 0.2, to get ⇒ 1.2

5. If we were to consider the formula, 1.2 would first be exponentially multiplied by itself 10 time, considering that it is to the power of 10 years. In other words ⇒ 1.2^10 = 6.191736422..........

6. Now let us multiply this infinite value 6.19...... by the principle quantity 12 feet ⇒ 6.191736422.......... * 12 = <em>(About) 74.30083707.......</em>

7. If we were to round this value, it would be to ⇒ 74.3 feet, or in other words the first option; <em>Option A</em>

The graph below plots a function f(x):
Afina-wow [57]
The average rate of change of a linear function is the slope of the line. Since we are given the following coordinates:
(0,150) and (3,0)
We can easily solve for the slope.
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (0 - 150) / (3 - 0) = -50

Therefore, the average rate of change of the function in the three seconds is -50.
