PLEASE IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP The distance traveled, in meters, of a coin dropped from a tall building is modeled by the equation d(t) = 4.9t2 where d equals the distance traveled at time t seconds and t equals the time in seconds. What does the average rate of change of d(t) from t = 3 to t = 6 represent?

Im not sure if its B or C The distance traveled, in meters, of a coin dropped from a tall building is modeled by the equation d(t) = 4.9t2 where d equals the distance traveled at time t seconds and t equals the time in seconds. What does the average rate of change of d(t) from t = 3 to t = 6 represent? The coin travels an average distance of 44.1 meters from 3 seconds to 6 seconds. The coin falls down with an average speed of 14.7 meters per second from 3 seconds to 6 seconds. The coin falls down with an average speed of 44.1 meters per second from 3 seconds to 6 seconds. The coin travels an average distance of 14.7 meters from 3 seconds to 6 seconds.

It is asking for the d(t) or distance travelled, by the coin between the time of 3 and the time of 6 seconds. Therefore the answer would have to be the one that relates to distance in that timeframe.

OpenStudy (dancergirl45):

I have tried both a and d and they dont work so it must be b or c

OpenStudy (richley):

Well it is asking for the average rate of change of d(t)

OpenStudy (dancergirl45):

ok then so would it be a or d

Please anyone help
