The following table represents the altitude of a hiker climbing a mountain over a 60-minute hike. Calculate the average rate of change over the interval from 0 to 30 minutes.

The rate of change is about 3 feet per minute.
The rate of change is about 3 feet per minute.
The rate of change is about 30 feet per minute.
The rate of change is about 30 feet per minute.
The rate of change is about 2 feet per minute.
The rate of change is about 2 feet per minute.
The rate of change is about 90 feet per minute.
To calculate the average rate of change over the interval from 0 to 30 minutes, we need the change in altitude and the change in time.
Altitude at 0 minutes: 0 feet
Altitude at 30 minutes: 60 feet
Change in altitude: 60 feet - 0 feet = 60 feet
Change in time: 30 minutes - 0 minutes = 30 minutes
Average rate of change = Change in altitude / Change in time
Average rate of change = 60 feet / 30 minutes
The rate of change is about 2 feet per minute. Therefore, the correct response is:
The rate of change is about 2 feet per minute.

To calculate the average rate of change over the interval from 8 to 15 minutes, we need the change in distance and the change in time.
Distance at 8 minutes: 28 kilometers
Distance at 15 minutes: 42.5 kilometers
Change in distance: 42.5 kilometers - 28 kilometers = 14.5 kilometers
Change in time: 15 minutes - 8 minutes = 7 minutes
Average rate of change = Change in distance / Change in time
Average rate of change = 14.5 kilometers / 7 minutes
The rate of change is approximately 2.07 kilometers per minute. Rounding to one decimal place, the correct response is:
The rate of change is 2.1 kilometers per minute.

The rate of change is 5.5 percent per exam.
To calculate the average rate of change over the interval from Isaac's first exam to his third exam, we need the change in grades and the change in the number of exams.
Grade on the first exam: 70 percent
Grade on the third exam: 82 percent
Change in grades: 82 percent - 70 percent = 12 percent
Change in number of exams: 3 exams - 1 exam = 2 exams
Average rate of change = Change in grades / Change in number of exams
Average rate of change = 12 percent / 2 exams
The rate of change is 6 percent per exam. Therefore, the correct response is:
The rate of change is 6 percent per exam.

To calculate the average rate of change over the interval from 2 minutes to 11 minutes, we need the change in distance and the change in time.
Let's assume the distance at 2 minutes is 5 kilometers and the distance at 11 minutes is 38 kilometers.
Change in distance: 38 kilometers - 5 kilometers = 33 kilometers
Change in time: 11 minutes - 2 minutes = 9 minutes
Average rate of change = Change in distance / Change in time
Average rate of change = 33 kilometers / 9 minutes
The rate of change is approximately 3.67 kilometers per minute. Rounding to two decimal places, the correct response is:
The rate of change is 3.67 kilometers per minute.
