Step-by-step explanation:
Average rate of change is the same thing as the slope. Because this is parabolic, we cannot find the exact rate of change as we could if this were a linear function. But we can use the same idea. When t = 3, h(t) = 33, so the coordinate point is (3, 33). When t = 6, h(t) = 0, so the coordinate is (6, 0). Plug those values into the slope formula:
and
which is -11
