![The velocity of a car is given by v(t) = 120(1 - 0.85').
Describe the acceleration of the car.
The values of v(t) slowly rise in the range of about t between 0 and 15. The slope for
these values is positive and steep. Then as the graph nears t=20 the steepness of the
slope decreases and seems to get very close to 0. We can reason that the car quickly
accelerates for the first 20 units of time. Then, it seems to maintain a constant
acceleration for the rest of the time. To verify this, we could differentiate and look at
values where v'(t) is increasing.
The values of v(t) quickly rise in the range of about t between 0 and 15. The slope for
these values is positive and steep. Then as the graph nears t=40 the steepness of the
slope decreases and seems to get very close to 0. We can reason that the car quickly
accelerates for the first 40 units of time. Then, it seems to maintain a constant
acceleration for the rest of the time. To verify this, we could differentiate and look at
