Question
A car is traveling back and forth. Its velocity (in feet per second) after t seconds is given by v(t) = 9−3t
.
Determine the position of the car after four seconds if s(0) = 0 (where s(t) is the position function
for the car).

- If an average-size man jumps from an airplane with an open parachute, his downward velocity t seconds into the fall is v(t) = 20(10.2) feet per second. (a) Use functional notation to express the velocity 3 seconds into the fall. Calculate it. ft per sec (b) Explain how the velocity increases with time. Include in your explanation the average rate of change from the beginning of the fall to the end of the first second and the average rate of " change from the fourth second to the fifth second of the fall.
