Question

An alien on another planet throws a ball is thrown into the air. Its height (in feet) after t seconds is given by f(t)=51t−14t^2.

Find the average velocities, Round to 3 decimal places. 

The average velocity between 1.4 and 2.4 seconds, between 3.9 and 4.4 seconds. 

Find the instantaneous velocity at 1 second.

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that, the function is ft=51t-14t2.

Obtain the average velocity between 1.4 and 2.4 seconds.

fb-fab-a=f2.4-f1.42.4-1.4=512.4-142.42-511.4-141.421=-2.2

Therefore, the average velocity between 1.4 and 2.4 seconds is -2.2.
