- bThe average rate of change of the linear function f(x)=3x+5 between any two points is ________.arrow_forwardUse the table of values you made in part 4 of the example to find the limiting value of the average rate of change in velocity.arrow_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
