To find the rate of change in the goat's elevation, we need to calculate the quotient of the change in elevation (50 feet) divided by the time it took (22 minutes).
Rate of change in elevation = Change in elevation / Time
Rate of change in elevation = 50 feet / 22 minutes
Calculating this quotient, we find:
Rate of change in elevation ≈ 2.27 feet/minute
Therefore, the rate of change in the goat's elevation is approximately 2.27 feet per minute.
a mountain goat is climbing to the top of a large cliff. the cliff is 50 feet higher than its starting point. it it takes the goat 22 minutes to climb this cliff, interpret the quotient to describe the rate of change in the goats elevation. give you answer to the nearest hundredth
