55: 49 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 h(t) = 300 - 167. which expression could be used to determine the average rate at which the object falls during the first 3 seconds of its fall? h(3) – h(0) h(3) h(3) - (0)

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The expression that could be used to determine the average rate at which the object falls during the first 3 seconds of its fall would be  (h(3)-h(0))/3. Average rate can be calculated by the general formula:

Average rate = (change in y-axis) / (change in x-axis)

In this case,

Average rate = (change in height) / (change in time)

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4
