A bird is flving at an average altitude of 10 meters above the ground. After 3 seconds, it settles on a branch that is 3 meters above the ground. Interpret the quotient to describe the rate of change in the bird's altitude. Give your answer to the nearest hundredth and remember that the bird is descending. (1 point)

To find the rate of change in the whale's depth, we need to divide the change in depth by the time it took. The whale started at a depth of 15 meters and swam up to the surface, so the change in depth is 15 meters. The time taken is 9.5 seconds.

Rate of change = Change in depth / Time taken

Rate of change = 15 meters / 9.5 seconds

Rate of change ≈ 1.58 meters/second

The quotient that best represents the rate of change in the whale's depth is approximately 1.58 meters/second.

To find the rate of change in the bird's altitude, we need to divide the change in altitude by the time it took. The bird started at an altitude of 10 meters and settled on a branch that was 3 meters above the ground, so the change in altitude is 10 - 3 = 7 meters. The time taken is 3 seconds.

Rate of change = Change in altitude / Time taken

Rate of change = 7 meters / 3 seconds

Rate of change ≈ 2.33 meters/second

The quotient that best represents the rate of change in the bird's altitude is approximately 2.33 meters/second.

Apologies for the wrong response. Since the bird is descending, the change in altitude is negative.

The bird started at an altitude of 10 meters and settled on a branch that was 3 meters above the ground, so the change in altitude is -10 - 3 = -13 meters (negative because it descended).

The time taken is 3 seconds.

Rate of change = Change in altitude / Time taken

Rate of change = -13 meters / 3 seconds

Rate of change ≈ -4.33 meters/second

The quotient that best represents the rate of change in the bird's altitude is approximately -4.33 meters/second.

To find the value decrease per month, we need to divide the total decrease in value by the number of months. The car's value decreases by $2,500 in 6 months.

Value decrease per month = Total decrease in value / Number of months

Value decrease per month = $2,500 / 6 months

Value decrease per month ≈ $416.67 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

The value of the car decreases by approximately $416.67 per month.
