The rate of change of the distance traveled by the coin is obtained by differentiating the function d(t) and substituting the value of t. The average rate of change in d(t) from t = 3 to t = 6 represent the distance traveled by the coin between those time intervals.
Answer:
Average Rate of change of d(t) is 11.43
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
d(t) = 4.9 t²
where d(t) gives distance covered by coin in time t.
To find: The Average Rate of change of d(t) from t = 3 to t = 6.
We know that Average rate of change, A of f(x) = [tex]\frac{f(a)-f(b)}{a-b}[/tex]
here, a= 6 and b = 3
So, Average rate of change = [tex]\frac{d(6)-d(3)}{6-3}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{4.9(6)^2-4.9(3)^2}{3}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{4.9\times16-4.9\times9}{3}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{78.4-44.1}{3}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{34.3}{3}[/tex]
= [tex]11.43[/tex]
Therefore, Average Rate of change of d(t) is 11.43
