A bird is flying at a avarge altitude of 10 meters above the ground after 3 seconds it settles on a branch that is 3 meters above the ground interpet the quotient to describe the rate of change in the bird altitude give your answer to the nearest hundred and remember that the bird is descending
The rate of change in the bird's altitude is negative because it is descending. The quotient can be calculated as the change in altitude divided by the change in time.
Change in altitude = (10 meters - 3 meters) = 7 meters
Change in time = 3 seconds
Rate of change in altitude = -7 meters / 3 seconds ≈ -2.33 meters/second
Therefore, the rate of change in the bird's altitude is approximately -2.33 meters/second.
To find the rate of change in the bird's altitude, we need to calculate the change in altitude over a specific time interval.
The bird starts at an altitude of 10 meters above the ground and settles on a branch 3 meters above the ground after 3 seconds. Therefore, the change in altitude is (10 - 3) = 7 meters.
The time interval is 3 seconds.
To find the rate of change (in meters per second), we divide the change in altitude by the time interval:
Rate of change = Change in altitude / Time interval
Rate of change = 7 meters / 3 seconds
After calculating, we find that the rate of change is approximately 2.33 meters per second (rounded to two decimal places).
To interpret the quotient that describes the rate of change in the bird's altitude, we need to calculate the change in altitude over the given time.
Given that the bird starts flying at an average altitude of 10 meters above the ground and settles on a branch that is 3 meters above the ground, we can calculate the change in altitude.
Change in altitude = Final altitude - Initial altitude
Change in altitude = 3 meters - 10 meters
Change in altitude = -7 meters
Since the bird is descending, the change in altitude is negative.
Next, we need to consider the time it takes for the bird to descend. From the given information, it is stated that the bird settles on the branch after 3 seconds.
Now, we can calculate the rate of change in the bird's altitude by dividing the change in altitude by the time taken:
Rate of change = Change in altitude / Time taken
Rate of change = -7 meters / 3 seconds
To obtain the answer to the nearest hundred, we round the result:
Rate of change = -2.333 meters/second
Interpreting the quotient, we can say that the bird's altitude is decreasing at a rate of approximately 2.333 meters per second.
