Formula: The instantaneous rate of change of f(x) for a ≤x ≤b is f(b) -f(a)b - a. We have given f(3)…

1. The table below shows the height of a drone off the ground in feet at time t seconds. t (seconds) 1 3 4 5 6. f (t) (feet) 3 15 12 14 10 6. Jonathan claims that there must be a time for 0 < t < 3 such that the instantaneous rate of change of the height of the drone is 3 feet per second. Is he correct? Justify your answer.
