Kesha threw her baton up in the air from the marching band platform during practice. The equation h(t) = −16t² + 54t + 40 gives the height of the baton, in feet, t seconds after it is thrown from the platform. What is the height of the platform? At what speed was the baton thrown? If she doesn't catch it, when will it hit the ground?

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,

step-by-step explanation:

i'm pretty sure it would take 20 hours because it's half the men so you multiply the number of hours it takes by 2
