I can’t see the graph image you mentioned. To complete the drop-downs I need the height values at the indicated times. Either upload the image or tell me the heights h(0), h(1), h(3), and h(5).

How to compute them:
- Average rate of change between 3 and 5 seconds = (h(5) − h(3)) / (5 − 3) = (h(5) − h(3)) / 2 feet per second.
- Average rate of change between 0 and 1 second = (h(1) − h(0)) / (1 − 0) = h(1) − h(0) feet per second.

Give the four heights or upload the graph and I’ll compute the numeric answers.
