7. The path of a baseball after it has been hit is modeled by the function h = -0.0032d? + d + 3, where his
the height in feet of the baseball and d is the distance in feet the baseball is from home plate. Find the average
rate of change for the baseball between d = 100 and d = 200.

Answer:

[tex]A = 0.04[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]h(d) = -0.0032d^2 + d + 3[/tex]

Required

Determine the average rate of change for d = 100 to 200

Average rate of change (A) is calculated as follows:

[tex]A = \frac{h(b) - h(a)}{b - a}[/tex]

In this case:

[tex]b = 200[/tex] and [tex]a = 100[/tex]

So: [tex]A = \frac{h(b) - h(a)}{b - a}[/tex] becomes

[tex]A = \frac{h(200) - h(100}{200 - 100}[/tex]

[tex]A = \frac{h(200) - h(100)}{100}[/tex]

Solving h(200)

[tex]h(d) = -0.0032d^2 + d + 3[/tex]

[tex]h(200) = -0.0032*200^2 + 200 + 3[/tex]

[tex]h(200) = 75[/tex]

Solving h(100)

[tex]h(d) = -0.0032d^2 + d + 3[/tex]

[tex]h(100) = -0.0032*100^2 + 100 + 3[/tex]

[tex]h(100) = 71[/tex]

So: [tex]A = \frac{h(200) - h(100)}{100}[/tex] becomes

[tex]A = \frac{75 - 71}{100}[/tex]

[tex]A = \frac{4}{100}[/tex]

[tex]A = 0.04[/tex]

Hence, the average rate of change is 0.04
