Approximating position at t= 5 and t= 4.1

---

Remember, one way to think of a derivative is as a measurement of how a dependent variable responds to a change in an independent variable. We can use this understanding of the derivative to help us approximate changes.

An object is moving with position \( p(t) \). We know that \( p(4) = 12 \) m, and \( p'(4) = 2 \) m/s. What is the approximate position of the object at time \( t = 5 \)? At time \( t = 4.1 \)?

Expert Solution
Step 1

It is given that, An object is moving with position p(t). 

p(4)=12 m and p'(4)=2 m/s.

We have to find the approximate position of the object at time t = 5 and t = 4.1.
