A dolphin jumped above the surface of the water. It reached an altitude of 3.5 meters above the surface of the water and then dove 10 meters below the surface of the water. It went from its highest point above the water to its lowest depth in 12.5 seconds. Interpret the quotient to describe the average rate of change in the dolphin's position. Give your answer to the nearest hundredth.
Bot is a oopy head man I got it wrong
1. The quotient that describes the rate of change in the squirrel’s height above the ground is −10.48 feet/second.
2. The quotient that describes the rate of change in the dolphin’s position is −1.08
meters/second.
3. The quotient that describes the average rate of change for the diver’s depth is −0.99
meters/second.
4. −$333.33

I already did it, I donkey bombed it but heres the answers so you dont fail like I did
To find the average rate of change in the dolphin's position, we divide the change in position by the time it took. The change in position is the difference between the altitude it reached above the surface and the depth it dove below the surface, which is 3.5 meters + 10 meters = <<3.5+10=13.5>>13.5 meters. The time it took is 12.5 seconds. Therefore, the average rate of change in the dolphin's position is 13.5 meters / 12.5 seconds = <<13.5/12.5=1.08>>1.08 meters per second. Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the average rate of change is approximately 1.08 meters per second.
Positive or negative
The average rate of change in the dolphin's position is positive because it went from a lower depth to a higher altitude.
The quotient that describes the rate of change in the dolphin’s position is 0.52 meters/second.

To interpret the quotient and describe the average rate of change in the dolphin's position, we need to calculate the change in position over the given time interval.
First, let's calculate the total change in the dolphin's position. The dolphin jumped 3.5 meters above the surface of the water and then dove 10 meters below the surface. So the total change in its position is 3.5 meters (above) + 10 meters (below) = 13.5 meters.
Next, we need to calculate the average rate of change in the dolphin's position. This is done by dividing the total change in position by the time taken. In this case, the time taken is given as 12.5 seconds. So the average rate of change is 13.5 meters / 12.5 seconds.
Dividing these two values gives us an average rate of change of 1.08 meters per second. Rounding it to the nearest hundredth, the average rate of change in the dolphin's position is approximately 1.08 meters per second.
