To find the average rate of change in the dolphin's position, we need to divide the change in position by the time taken.
The change in position is the difference between the highest point and the lowest depth, which is 3.5 + 10 = 13.5 meters.
The time taken is 12.5 seconds.
Dividing the change in position by the time taken, we get an average rate of change of position of 13.5/12.5 = 1.08 meters per second.
Therefore, the interpretation of the quotient is that the dolphin's position changes by an average of 1.08 meters per second.
A dolphin jumped above the surface of the water. It reached an altitude of 3.5 meters above the surface of the water and then dove 10 meters below the surface of the water. It went from its highest point above the water to its lowest depth in 12.5 seconds. Interpret the quotient to describe the average rate of change in the dolphin’s position. Give your answer to the nearest hundredth.
