Question

Chapter 2.4, Problem 7E

(a)

To determine

To find: The slope of the secants PQ1 , PQ2 , PQ3 and PQ4 , arrange them in a table and also write the unit for the slope.

(a)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 7E

The units for the slope are m/sec and the approximate value of slope of the secants is shown in below table:

Secant	Slope
PQ1	43 m/sec
PQ2	46 m/sec
PQ3	50 m/sec
PQ4	50 m/sec

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The below figure shows the distance-time graph for a 1994 Ford Mustang Cobra accelerating from a standstill:

Calculus 2012 Student Edition (by Finney/Demana/Waits/Kennedy), Chapter 2.4, Problem 7E , additional homework tip 1

Calculation:

As shown in the graph the points are Q1(10,225) , Q2(14,375) , Q3(16.5,475) , Q4(18,550) and P(20,650).

The slope of the secant PQ1 can be calculated as:

m=y2−y1x2−x1=650−22520−10=42510=42.5

So, the slope of the secant PQ1 is estimated to 43 m/sec.

The slope of the secant PQ2 can be calculated as:

m=y2−y1x2−x1=650−37520−14=2756=45.83

So, the slope of the secant PQ2 is estimated to 46 m/sec.

The slope of the secant PQ3 can be calculated as:

m=y2−y1x2−x1=650−47520−16.5=1753.5=50

So, the slope of the secant PQ3 is 50 m/sec.

The slope of the secant PQ4 can be calculated as:

m=y2−y1x2−x1=650−55020−18=1002=50

So, the slope of the secant PQ4 is to 50 m/sec.

Therefore, the units for the slope are m/sec and the approximate value of slope of the secant lines is shown in the table below:

Secant	Slope
PQ1	43 m/sec
PQ2	46 m/sec
PQ3	50 m/sec
PQ4	50 m/sec

(b)

To determine

To find: The speed at the point P.

(b)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 7E

The speed at the point P is 50 m/sec.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The below figure shows the distance-time graph for a 1994 Ford Mustang Cobra accelerating from a standstill:

Calculus 2012 Student Edition (by Finney/Demana/Waits/Kennedy), Chapter 2.4, Problem 7E , additional homework tip 2

Calculation:

As calculated in part (a), the slope of the line joining the point nearest to the point P is equal to the speed at point P . The point nearest to the point P is Q4 and the slope of the secant PQ4 is equal to 50 m/sec.

Therefore, the speed at the point P is equal to 50 m/sec.
