A squirt has stored its acorns in a hole that is 45 feet from the ground in a tall tree the squirrel starts on a Perch 100 feet above the ground the squirrel moves from the perch down to its stored acorns in 5.25 seconds interpet the quotient to describe the rate of change in the squirrel height above the ground your answer to the nearest hundredth
To find the rate of change in the squirrel's height above the ground, we divide the change in height by the time it took.
The squirrel started on a perch 100 feet above the ground and moved down to its stored acorns 45 feet from the ground, so the change in height is 100 feet - 45 feet = 55 feet.
The time it took for the squirrel to move down is given as 5.25 seconds.
Now we can calculate the rate of change:
Rate of change = Change in height / Time taken
Rate of change = 55 feet / 5.25 seconds
Calculating this value gives us:
Rate of change ≈ 10.4762 feet per second
Rounding this to the nearest hundredth gives:
Rate of change ≈ 10.48 feet per second
So the quotient, or the rate of change in the squirrel's height above the ground, is approximately 10.48 feet per second.
To find the rate of change in the squirrel's height above the ground, we need to calculate the vertical distance it travels divided by the time it takes.
The squirrel starts on a perch 100 feet above the ground and moves down to its stored acorns, which are 45 feet from the ground. Therefore, the vertical distance it travels is 100 feet - 45 feet = 55 feet.
The time it takes for the squirrel to move from the perch to the acorns is given as 5.25 seconds.
To calculate the rate of change, we divide the vertical distance by the time:
Rate of change = Vertical distance / Time
Rate of change = 55 feet / 5.25 seconds
Rate of change ≈ 10.48 feet/second (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Therefore, the rate of change in the squirrel's height above the ground is approximately 10.48 feet per second.
To interpret the quotient and describe the rate of change in the squirrel's height above the ground, we'll divide the change in height (distance) by the time it took for the squirrel to move from the perch to its stored acorns.
First, let's calculate the change in height. The squirrel starts on a perch 100 feet above the ground and stores its acorns in a hole that is 45 feet from the ground. So the initial height above the ground is 100 feet, and the final height (where the acorns are stored) is 45 feet. The change in height is therefore 100 - 45 = 55 feet.
Next, let's calculate the time it took for the squirrel to move from the perch to the stored acorns, which is given as 5.25 seconds.
Now we can compute the rate of change in the squirrel's height. We divide the change in height (55 feet) by the time (5.25 seconds):
Rate of change = Change in height / Time
Rate of change = 55 feet / 5.25 seconds
By performing the division, we find that the rate of change in the squirrel's height above the ground is approximately 10.48 feet per second when rounded to the nearest hundredth.
