Question

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

t
(seconds)
d(t)
(meters)
2
64
4
256
6
576
8
1024
What is the average rate of change of d(t) between 2 seconds and 6 seconds, and what does it represent?


1)

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

2)

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

3)

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

4)

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

Answer 1

can someone please help me?

Answer 3

plz reformat the table for clarity

Answer 4

average rate of change is slope, find the slope b/w the times 2 and 6

Answer 5

\[(1024-64)/(6-2)\]

Answer 6

oh ok. thank you!
