Question

A rocket is launched into the air the height in yards of the rocket is a function of time in seconds as shown in the following table what is the rockets average rate of change?

Answer 1

-11

Explanation:

Average rate of change =
`(f(b) - f(a))/(b - a)`

Where,

a = 3, f(a) = 33

b = 6, f(b) = 0

Plug in the values into the formula

Average rate of change =
`(0 - 33)/(6 - 3)`

`= (-33)/(3) = -11`

Average rate of change = -11
