Question

In a time of t seconds, a particle moves a distance of s meters from its starting point, where s(t) = 3t2 − 1.

1. Complete the following table of values. Do not round your solutions.

t 2 2.001 2.01 2.1
s(t)        

2. Find the average rate of change between t = 2 and t = 2 + ∆t if:

     i. ∆t = 0.1

     ii. ∆t = 0.01

     iii. ∆t = 0.001

3. As we choose a smaller and smaller interval around t = 2 the average rate of change appears to be getting closer and closer to the numerical value _____ . So we estimate the instantaneous rate of change at t = 2 to be _____ m/sec.

4. Find s'(t) using rules of differentiation.

5. Use s'(t) to find the exact value of s'(2).
