Determine whether the inverse of f(x)=x^4+2 is a function. Then, find the inverse.
Velocity of a Ball Thrown into the Air The position function of an object moving along a straight line is given by s = f(t). The average velocity of
the object over the time interval [a, b] is the average rate of change of f over [a, b]; its (instantaneous) velocity at t = a is the rate of change of f at a.
A ball is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 128 ft/sec, so that its height (in feet) after t sec is given by s = f(t) = 128t - 16t².
(a) What is the average velocity of the ball over the following time intervals?
[3,4]
[3, 3.5]
[3, 3.1]
ft/sec
ft/sec
ft/sec
(b) What is the instantaneous velocity at time t = 3?
