Answer:
5 feet per second
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
X(seconds) 0 1 2 3 4
Y (feet) 0 1 4 9 16
We need to find the average rate of change between 1 seconds and 4 second.
X = 4-1 = 3 seconds
Y = 16 - 1 = 15 feet
We know that,
Speed = distance/time
So,
[tex]v=\dfrac{15}{5}\\\\v=5\ ft/s[/tex]
So, the correct option is (c).
