Question
Let f be defined as follows. y = f(x) = x^2-4x (a) Find the average rate of change of y with respect to x in the following intervals. from x = 5 to x = 6 from x = 5 to x = 5.5 from x = 5 to x = 5.1 (b) Find the (instantaneous) rate of change of y at x = 5. A hot-air balloon rises vertically from the ground so that its height after t sec is given by the following function. h = 1/2 + 1/2 t ft where (0 lessthanorequalto t lessthanorequalto 60) (a) What is the height of the balloon at the end of 43 sec? (b) What is the average velocity of the balloon between t = 0 and t = 43? (c) What is the velocity of the balloon at the end of 43 sec?Explanation / Answer
h= (1/2)t2+ (1/2)t
a. when t=43 secs
h= (1/2)432+ 43/2 =946 ft
b.
at t=0, h=0
And at t=43, h= 946
average velocity= 949-0/43-0=22ft/sec
c. after 43 secs, velocity is dh/dt= t+1/2=43.5 ft/sec
