Question

From a height of 3,000 feet, a falcon descends at a rate of 250 ft./sec. What is the rate of change in the falcon’s elevation, and what is the initial value?

The rate of change in the falcon's elevation is -250 ft/sec because it is descending, so the rate is negative.
The initial value is 3,000 feet because that is the height from which the falcon starts descending.
