A golfer hits a golf ball off the ground with an initial vertical velocity of 176 feet per second. How long does it take for the ball to land? Use the formula h = −16t2 + v0t + h0, where h represents the height of the ball in feet, t represents the time in seconds, v0 represents the initial vertical velocity, and h0 represents the initial height. Select one:
A. 9 seconds
B. 11 seconds
C. 15 seconds
D. 18 seconds

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).
