Question
a) On the​ moon, all​ free-fall distance functions are of the form s(t)=0.81t2​,
where t is in seconds and s is in meters. An object is dropped from a height of 150 meters above the moon. After 8 sec, consider parts​ (a) through​ (d) below.
​a)
How far has the object​ fallen?
​b)
How fast is it​ traveling?
​c)
What is its​ acceleration?
​d)
Explain the meaning of the second derivative of this​ free-fall function.

b) An accessories company finds that the​ cost, in​ dollars, of producing x belts is given by C(x)=720+31x−0.061x2.

Find the rate at which average cost is changing when 180 belts have been produced. And when 180 belts have been​ produced, the average cost is changing at how much dollar per belt for each additional belt.
