Speedometer readings for a motorcycle at 12-second intervals are given in the table. t (s) 0 12 24 36 | 48 60 v (ft/s) 30 28 24 21 25 28 (a) Estimate the distance traveled by the motorcycle during this time period using the velocities at the beginning of the time intervals. ft (b) Give another estimate using the velocities at the end of the time periods. ft (c) Are your estimates in parts (a) and (b) upper and lower estimates? Explain. O (a) and (b) are neither lower nor upper estimates since v is neither an increasing nor decreasing function of t. O (b) is a lower estimate and (a) is an upper estimate since v is a decreasing function of t. (a) is a lower estimate and (b) is an upper estimate since v is an increasing function of t.

Air Temperature As dry air moves upward, it expand and, in so doing, cools at a rate of about 1°C for each 100-meter rise, up to about 12 km. (a) If the ground temperature is 20°C, write a formula for the temperature at height h. (b) What range of temperatures can be expected if an air plane lakes off and reaches a maximum height of 5 km?
Does a Limiting Value Occur? A rocket ship is flying away from Earth at a constant velocity, and it continues on its course indefinitely. Let D(t) denote its distance from Earth after t years of travel. Do you expect that D has a limiting value?
