Question

Am I right? Medals!

Answer 1

The table below shows the distance d(t) in feet that an object travels in t seconds:



What is the average rate of change of d(t) between 2 seconds and 6 seconds, and what does it represent?
A. 128 m/s; it represents the average speed of the object between 2 seconds and 6 seconds

B. 80 m/s; it represents the average speed of the object between 2 seconds and 6 seconds

C. 128 m/s; it represents the average distance traveled by the object between 2 seconds and 6 seconds

D. 80 m/s; it represents the average distance traveled by the object between 2 seconds and 6 seconds


I think its A or D but I'm not sure?

Answer 3

(576-64)/(6-2) = Average Rate of Change between 2 and 6.

Answer 4

So I subtract the top and bottom, now i got 512 over 4, and that is equal to 128, right? So its A?

Answer 5

@tkhunny Am I right? Is it A?

Answer 6

What a strange question. Did you perform the subtractions and division correctly? Then you have it.

It is the average speed.
