At 2:18 Pm, a parachutist is 4900 feet above the ground. At 2:32 pm, the parachutist is 2100 above the ground. Find the average rate of change in feet per minute
Average Rate of Change = Change in Distance / Change in time
Average Rate of Change = (4900 - 2100) / (2:32 - 2:18)
Average Rate of Change = 2800 / 14
Average Rate of Change = 200 feet per minute
Average Rate of Change = Change in Distance / Change in time
Average Rate of Change = (4900 - 2100) / (2:32 - 2:18)
Average Rate of Change = 2800 / 14
Average Rate of Change = 200 feet per minute
