Ian tosses a bone up in the air for his dog, Spot. The height, h, in feet, that Spot is above the ground at the time t seconds after she jumps for the bone can be represented by the function h(t)= -16t^2+20t

12 feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the complete question.

Ian tosses a bone up in the air for his dog, Spot. The height, h, in feet, that Spot is above the ground at the time t seconds after she jumps for the bone can be represented.

What is Spot's average rate of ascent, in feet per second, from the time she jumps into the air to the time she catches the bone at t=1/2?  

We will use average rate of change formula to solve our given problem.

Therefore, Spot's average rate of ascent is 12 feet per second.

the answer is d. (1.2, -4.7) on edgn

hope this !
