Question 1147415: Solve each application problem algebraically. Jimmy jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge, 100 ft above the water, with a bungee cord tied to his legs. If he was 8 ft above the water 5 seconds after jumping, then what was the average rate of change of his altitude as the time varied from 0 to 5 seconds? Don’t forget units. Found 2 solutions by ikleyn, Alan3354:Answer by ikleyn(52781) (Show Source):
Change of altitude was 100-8 = 92 feet in 5 seconds.
Hence, the average rate of the altitude change was = feet per second.
