Question 2 Multiple Choice worth 5 pont) (01.01 LC)Which of the following describes a situation in which the total distance a baseball player travels is zero meters from his starting point?
A. The player runs 5 meters forward, and then runs 5 meters in the opposite direction.
B. The player runs 5 meters forward, and then runs 6 meters in the opposite direction.
C. The player runs 6 meters forward, and then runs 5 meters in the opposite direction.
D. The player runs 6 meters forward, and then runs O meters in the opposite direction.

A.The player runs 5 meters forward, and then runs 5 meters in the opposite direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

A.The player runs 5 meters forward, and then runs 5 meters in the opposite direction.

+5 -5 = 0  they will be at the same place they started

B.The player runs 5 meters forward, and then runs 6 meters in the opposite direction.

+5 -6 = -1  they will be 1 m behind where they started

C.The player runs 6 meters forward, and then runs 5 meters in the opposite direction.

+6 -5 = 1  they will be 1 m in front of where they started

D.The player runs 6 meters forward, and then runs O meters in the opposite direction.

+6 -0 = 6  they will be 6 meters in front of where they started

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).
