We can model the function between a and b as a linear function of negative slope because it is a short interval and the change is not very significant.
We have then that the average rate of change in that interval is:
m = (f (a) - f (b)) / (a-b)
Substituting the values:
m = (34.25 - 26) / (2.5-3.6)
m = -7.5
Negative, because the function decreases in that interval.
Answer:
a reasonable estimate of the average rate of change of the height of the rocket, in meters per second, between a and b seconds is:
m = -7.5 m / s
The equation is only create a line on the coordinate itself . make a straight line on - 8 of y axis
so it is horizontal and there is no slope
the answer is a
22 - 1 = -3d
21= -3d
21/-3= d
-7 = d
Bring the 1 to the other side by doing the opposite sign, so subtract 1. Solve the left side.
Bring the 3 to the other side by doing the opposite sign, so divide 21 by -3.
End with D equaling -7
