The height, h, of a falling object t seconds after it is dropped from a platform 300 feet above the ground is modeled by the function mc002-1.jpg. Which expression could be used to determine the average rate at which the object falls during the first 3 seconds of its fall?
1) h(3) – h(0)
2) h(3/3) -h (0/3)
3) h(3)/3
4) h(3)-h(0)/3
