Aplane loses altitude at the rate of 5 meters per second. it begins with an altitude of 8500 meters. the planes altitude is a function of the number of seconds that pass. write an equation modeling this situation. how much time will pass before the plane lands?

28 minutes and 3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

d. is the correct answer

step-by-step explanation:

1 number

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.
