    ECE C3 CW #8: Rates of Change


    1) Suppose s(t) = t
    2
    + 2t 8 gives the position of a point on a line, in units, after t
    seconds.
    a) Evaluate the following.
    s(0) = s(1) = s(2) = s(3) =

    s(3.1) = s(3.5) = s(4) =


    b) Find the average velocity of the point between t = 3 and t = 4.



    c) Find the average velocity from t = 3 to t = 3.5.



    d) Find the average velocity from t = 3 to t = 3.1.



    e) Find the instantaneous velocity at t = 3.



    2) Suppose f(x) = x
    2
    + 10x + 120 is the number of freckles on Johnnys face x
    minutes after exposure to the sun.
    a) Find the average rate of change from x = 10 to x = 15 minutes.



    b) Find the instantaneous rate of change at x = 15 minutes.
    3) A point moves along the x-axis so that its position at time t, in seconds, is given
    by P(t) = t
    3
    6t
    2
    + 9t + 4.
    a) At what time(s) is the point at rest?



    b) Where is the point at rest?


    4) Suppose s(t) = 96t 16t
    2
    gives the height, in feet, of an object projected
    upward from the ground after t seconds.
    a) What is the velocity of the object when t = 1?


    b) What is the velocity of the object when t = 5? Explain this answer.


    c) What is the maximum height reached by the object?


    d) How fast is the object moving when it hits the ground?

    5) A programmer of X-ray equipment uses lines perpendicular to tangent lines of
    curves, called normal lines, to create 3-D images. Find the equation of the normal
    line to f(x) =

    at x = 3.
