- Find an equation of the tangent line to the parabola y=3x2 at the point 1,3.arrow_forwardbThe average rate of change of the linear function f(x)=3x+5 between any two points is ________.arrow_forwardFor a person at rest, the velocity v (in liters per second) of airflow during a respiratory cycle (the time from the beginning of one breath to the beginning of the next) is modeled by v=0.85sint/3, where t is the time (in seconds). a Find the time for one full respiratory cycle. b Find the number of cycles per minute. c Sketch the graph of the velocity function. Use the graph to confirm your answer in part a by finding two times when new breaths begin. (Inhalation occurs when v0, and exhalation occurs when v0.)arrow_forward
- An object is shot vertically upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 224 ft/sec. For vertical motion near the Earth's surface, acceleration due to gravity is -32 feet per second squared. (The negative means that acceleration is downward.) (a) Explain why the graph of velocity of the object against time is linear. O The graph of velocity is linear because the acceleration is decreasing at a constant rate. O The graph of velocity is linear because the velocity is increasing at a constant rate. O The graph of velocity is linear because the velocity is decreasing at a constant rate. The graph of velocity is linear because the velocity is constant. The graph of velocity is linear because the acceleration is increasing at a constant rate. (b) Using the starting velocity and your answer to part (b), find the time at which the object reaches the highest point. sec (c) Use your answer to part (c) to decide when the object hits the ground. sec (d) Graph the velocity against time. Mark…arrow_forward4. A lighthouse is located 40 meters off-shore. The beam of light from the lighthouse rotates at a rate of 2 revolutions per minute clockwise. The beam hits a cliff on the beach 60 meters away, producing a dot of light that moves horizontally along this cliff. Let be the angle between the beam and the line through the searchlight perpendicular to the cliff. Use a trig function for the relationship. T a. How fast is this light moving along the beach when = if the beam is moving toward the h 3 perpendicular line? (remember you need radians for trig functions and their derivatives) b. How fast is this beam moving when I if the dot is moving away from the perpendicular 13 line? (Adjust picture to have light beam on other side of the vertical) beach/cliff CALCECCO 60m Lighthousearrow_forwardTwo autos, P and Q, start from the same point and race along a straight road for 10 seconds. The velocity of P is given by feet per second. The velocity of Q is shown in the graph. (a) At what time is P’s actual acceleration (in ft/sec2) equal to its average acceleration for the entire race? (b) What is Q’s acceleration (in ft/sec2) then? (c) At the end of the race, which auto was ahead? Explain.arrow_forward
