A tennis ball is tossed into the air. The height, h(t), in feet, of the tennis ball is a function of time, t, in seconds, as shown in the table below.
t h(t)
0 0
0.5 20
1 32
1.5 36
2 32
2.5 20
3 0
Which statement provides a correct interpretation of the average rate of change of this function from t=1.5 to t=3?
A
The average rate of change is 24, which means that the tennis ball was rising at an average speed of 24 ft/sec.

B
The average rate of change is 24, which means that the tennis ball was falling at an average speed of 24 ft/sec.

C
The average rate of change is −24, which means that the tennis ball was rising at an average speed of 24 ft/sec.

D
The average rate of change is −24, which means that the tennis ball was falling at an average speed of 24 ft/sec.

I don't want to answer because I'm not 100% sure, but I know you can eliminate C and D right off the bat, because the rate of change can't be negative. It is between A and B and out of those two I would say B.

I was gonna ask you to mark me brainliest if I was right, but I'm guessing this is for the IA4 where you can't see your grade... lol. Sorry, but I hope this helps you, at least a little bit

Answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

I think that is the answer

correct answer is infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

solving the above equation:

4x + 6 = -4 +4x +10

combining like terms

4x -4x = -4+10-6

0=0

since both sides are 0=0, we end up into true statement it means it has infinite many solutions.

so correct answer is infinitely many solutions
