To interpret the quote, we need to find the average rate of change and the dolphin's position.
The average rate of change is calculated by dividing the change in position by the change in time. In this case, the change in position is from 3.5 m above the surface to 10 m below the surface, which is a total change of 3.5 m + 10 m = 13.5 m. The change in time is given as 12.5 seconds. Therefore, the average rate of change is 13.5 m / 12.5 s = 1.08 m/s.
To find the dolphin's position, we add the highest point above the water (3.5 m) to the change in position (13.5 m). So the dolphin's position is 3.5 m + 13.5 m = 17 m below the surface of the water.
Therefore, to summarize:
- The average rate of change is approximately 1.08 m/s.
- The dolphin's position is approximately 17 m below the surface of the water.
A dolphin jumped above the surface of the water. It reached an altitude at 3.5 m above the surface of the water and then go 10 m below the surface of the water it went from its highest point above the water to its lowest dad and 12.5 seconds, interpret the quote Net to describe the average rate of change and the dolphins position give your answer to the nearest hundred.
