Question

Two drones are flying over a given area, and their heights above the ground are changing. The table gives the change in height, in feet, for the drones over successive 6-second intervals. Which of the following is true about the average rates of change for drone A and drone B over the time interval from t = 0 seconds to t = 30 seconds?

Answer 1

The average rates of change are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the Avg. ROC, you have to add up the total height changes (+17-4+11-5-3) and divide by total time interval (t=30). For both, the total height change is 16/30= Avg Roc. Therefore, the answer is A) The average rates of change are equal.
