A weather balloon is launched and the following data is sent to the meteorological center. The column marked time,
Time ( | Elevation ( | Temp ( |
---|---|---|
Since the derivative (IROC) cannot be determined, calculate the average rate of change.
For
Approximately how fast is the balloon rising at
seconds? Approximately how fast is the temperature changing at
feet elevation? Use Hana, Anah, or Hanah's method to approximate the rate of change for
at . Approximately how fast is the temperature changing at
seconds? Use Hana, Anah, or Hanah's method to approximate the rate of change for
at . Why would you expect the product of the answers to (a) and (b) to equal answer (c)?
