By definition the rate of change of a function is given by:
 AVR =  \frac{Change In Y}{Change In X}
 Or equivalently:
 AVR = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}
 Substituting the values given in the problem we have:
 AVR = \frac{1.5}{18}
 Rewriting we have:
 AVR = 0.08
 Answer:
 
the rate of change of the ramp is:
 
AVR = 0.08

Total score: add all the numbers together:

-6 + 2 + 0 + 0 = -4  ( 4 under par).

A quarterback throws an incomplete pass. The height of the football at time t is modeled by the equation h(t) = –16t2 + 40t + 7.
Nostrana [21]
Indicated here when h(t) = 0, we are to find for the time where the football has reached a certain height. 


Then, the values of t would be -0.2 and 2.7.

Since we are to look for the time, it is impossible for us to have an answer that has a negative value. So based from our answer, the solution that we will eliminate is the -0.2 one. Since its value is negative.

So, the correct value would be the 2.7 sec. one.
