Answer:
2.3 feet/ second
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the rate of change, we will have to find the difference in his distance travelled and divide it by the time taken to move that distance.
This is given by rate of change = (change in position)/ change in time
From the question, his position changed from 30 ft to 100 ft thus the distance he travelled is = 100ft - 30 ft = 70 ft.
Time taken to travel this distance = 40 seconds - 10 seconds = 30 seconds
Diver's rate of travel = 70 ft / 30 seconds = 2.33333ft/second.
Rounding off the answer to the nearest tenth, we have 2.3 ft/second
