If the function y = .03 t2 + -2 t + 95 represents depth y vs. clock time t, then what is the average rate of depth change between clock time t = 7.9 and clock time t = 15.8? What is the rate of depth change at the clock time halfway between t = 7.9 and t = 15.8?

What function represents the rate r of depth change at clock time t? What is the clock time halfway between t = 7.9 and t = 15.8, and what is the rate of depth change at this instant?

If the function r(t) = .05 t + -2.2 represents the rate at which depth is changing at clock time t, then how much depth change will there be between clock times t = 7.9 and t = 15.8?
