- Find an equation of the tangent line to the parabola y=3x2 at the point 1,3.arrow_forwardFind the average rate of change for each function over the given interval. y=3x2 between x=1 and x=2arrow_forwardIf a coffee filter is dropped, its velocity after t seconds is given by v(t)=4(10.0003t) feet per second. What is the terminal velocity, and how long does it take the filter to reach 99 of terminal velocity? Use a table increment of 0.1 and given your answer to the nearest tenth of a second.arrow_forward
- Can the average rate of change of a function be constant?arrow_forwardThe kinetic energy E of an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the square of the object’s velocity v . An object with a mass of 50 kilograms traveling at 16 meters per second has a kinetic energy of 6400 joules. What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 70 kilograms traveling at 20 meters per second?arrow_forward
