Question

The table below shows the distance d(t) in feet that an object travels in t seconds: t (seconds) d(t) (feet) 2 64 4 256 6 576 8 1024 What is the average rate of change of d(t) between 2 seconds and 6 seconds, and what does it represent? 128 ft/s; it represents the average speed of the object between 2 seconds and 6 seconds 80 ft/s; it represents the average speed of the object between 2 seconds and 6 seconds 128 ft/s; it represents the average distance traveled by the object between 2 seconds and 6 seconds 80 ft/s; it represents the average distance traveled by the object between 2 seconds and 6 seconds

Answer 1

it's A

Explanation:

Answer 2

128 ft/s; it represents the average speed of the object between 2 seconds and 6 seconds

Explanation:

The average rate of change is another way to say slope.

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (576-64)/(6-2)

= (512/4)

=128 ft/s

This represents the change in ft per second, or the average speed the object is going during the time period.
