Suppose a graph shows the altitude of a plane during 3 hours of flying:
between hours 0 and 1 the plane went from 0 feet to 30,000 feet;
between hours 1 and 2 the plane went from 30,000 to 35,000, and
between hours 2 and 3 it went from 35,000 to 0 feet.
This gives us a) the rate of change between the intervals as well as b) the time interval that saw the greatest rate of change. (hint: graph this first!).
What is a) 30,000, 5,000, -35,000 and b) the interval between hours 2 and 3.
