To determine

To calculate: Theaverage rate of change of distance from t=3 to t=6 seconds, where an object is moving along a straight line as per the position function s=s(t). The distance s(in feet) of the object from its starting point after t seconds is given in the following table,

ts0012.5214331449589613771738240

Answer to Problem 17CT

Solution:

The average rate of change of distance from t=3 to t=6 seconds is 3513 feet per second or approximately 35.33 feet per second.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

An object is moving along a straight line as per the position function s=s(t). The distance s(in feet) of the object from its starting point after t seconds is given in the following table,

ts0012.5214331449589613771738240

Formula used:

Average rate of change from c to x,=f(x)f(c)xc, where xc

Calculation:

By using the formula of average rate of change, Average rate of change of distance from t=3 to t=6 seconds, =s(6)s(3)63.

Since, from the given table the distance covered by an object after 6 seconds is s(6)=137 feet and distance covered after 3 seconds is s(3)=31 feet

By substituting s(6)=137 and s(3)=31 in s(6)s(3)63,

Average rate of change of distance from t=3 to t=6 seconds =1373163

=1063

=351335.33

Therefore, the average rate of change of distance from t=3 to t=6 seconds is 3513 feet per second or approximately 35.33 feet per second.
