|| ▼ Answer ▼ ||

The average rate of change per year from 1 to 5 is 8inches

Explanation:

Given


h=t^(2)+2t+10

The average rate of change =
(h(5)-h(1))/(5-1)

Now h(5)


\boxed{h(5)=-5^(2)+2(5)+10 }


\boxed{h(5)=25+10+10}


\boxed{h(5)=45}

Now, h(1)


\boxed{h(1)=-1^(2)+2(1)+10}


\boxed{h(1)=1+2+10}


\boxed{h(1)=13}


\boxed{Average~change~rate=(h(5)-h(1))/(5-1) }


\boxed{Average~change~rate=(45-13)/(5-1)=(32)/(4)=8 }

The final answer

The average rate of change per year from 1 to 5 is 8 inches

Hope this helps!
