# Calculus and Equations: Practice Problems

## Problem 9
If an object is dropped from a high cliff, the distance (in feet) traveled after \( t \) seconds is given by the function \( d(t) = 16t^2 \).

a. **Find the difference quotient (average speed) over the interval \([a, a + h]\). Include units with your answer.**

b. **Find the limit as \( h \) goes to zero of the difference quotient over the interval \([a, a + h]\). Include units with your answer. What do you think this limit represent?**

## Problem 10
Given the equation: \( f(x) = -2x^2 + 5x - 1 \), find the equation of a line that passes through a point on the graph where \( x = -1 \) and has a slope of -5.
