Question

The distance, in meters, traveled by a moving particle in tt seconds is given by d(t)=9t(t+6)

Estimate the instantaneous velocity at t=2t=2 seconds using difference quotients with h=0.1h=0.1, 0.010.01, and 0.0010.001. If necessary, round the difference quotients to no less than six decimal places and round your final answer to the nearest integer.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data,

distance travelled, d(t)= 9t(t+6) = 9t2 +54t

time, t = 2 seconds
