Question
¹) If a rock is thrown upward on the planet Mars with a velocity of 10m/s, its height in
meters after x seconds if given by equation y = f(x) = 10x - 1.8x²
a) Find average velocity of the rock from x = 1 to x = 2 seconds.
AND Explain what this finds in context to the application with correct units.
b) Find and simplify the difference quotient for the function y = f(x) = 10x - 1.8x²
f(x +h)-f(x)
h
