What are the coordinates of first base, second base, and third base? Use feet as the unit of measurement.
If the right fielder is located at
If the center fielder is located at
(a)

The coordinate of first base, second base and third base in the feet as unit of measurement.
Answer to Problem 61AYU
Solution:
The coordinate of first base is
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
A major league baseball “diamond” is square with
A rectangular co-ordinate system on a major league baseball is diamond. The origin is at home plate, the positive
Explanation:
As the home plate is at the origin of the rectangular coordinate then the coordinate of the home plate is origin that means
The first base is at a distance of
The second base is at a distance of
The third base is at a distance of
The below figure shows all the vertices of the baseball diamond:
(b)

To calculate: The distance from the right fielder to second base where the right fielder is located at
Answer to Problem 61AYU
Solution:
The distance between the right fielder to second base is
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
A major league baseball “diamond” is square
A rectangular co-ordinate system on a major league baseball is diamond. The origin is at home plate, the positive
Formula used:
The distance formula: The distance between two points
Calculation:
From figure and part (a),
Thesecond base located at the
The right fielder is located at the
The distance between the right fielder to second base is
By using the distance formula
Therefore, the distance between the right fielder to second base is approximately
(c)

To calculate: The distance from the center fielder to third base, where the center fielder is located at
Answer to Problem 61AYU
Solution:
The distance between the center fielder to third base is approximately

- Consider the function f(x) = x²-1. (a) Find the instantaneous rate of change of f(x) at x=1 using the definition of the derivative. Show all your steps clearly. (b) Sketch the graph of f(x) around x = 1. Draw the secant line passing through the points on the graph where x 1 and x-> 1+h (for a small positive value of h, illustrate conceptually). Then, draw the tangent line to the graph at x=1. Explain how the slope of the tangent line relates to the value you found in part (a). (c) In a few sentences, explain what the instantaneous rate of change of f(x) at x = 1 represents in the context of the graph of f(x). How does the rate of change of this function vary at different points?arrow_forward1. The graph of ƒ is given. Use the graph to evaluate each of the following values.
