The distance traveled, in feet, of a ball dropped from a tall building is modeled by the equation d(t) = 16t2 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 = 2 to t = 5 represent?
a. the ball travels an average distance of 112 feet from 2 seconds to 5 seconds.
b. the ball falls down with an average speed of 48 feet per second from 2 seconds to 5 seconds.
c. the ball falls down with an average speed of 112 feet per second from 2 seconds to 5 seconds.
d. the ball travels an average distance of 48 feet from 2 seconds to 5 seconds.
