Vertical Motion In Exercises 27 and 28, use the position function
A ball is thrown straight down from the top of a 600-foot building with an initial velocity of -30 feet per second.
(a) Determine the position and velocity functions for the ball.
(b) Determine the average velocity on the interval [1, 3]
(c) Find the instantaneous velocities when
(d) Find the time required for the ball to reach ground level.
(e) Find the velocity of the ball at impact.

- Slope of a Curve at a PointIn Exercises 7–18, use the method in Example 3 to find (a) the slope of the curve at the given point P, and (b) an equation of the tangent line at P.arrow_forwardJoint PDF: If f_X,Y (x,y) = 6e^-(2x + 3y) for x, y >=0 then what is P[Y>X] ?arrow_forwardInstantaneous velocity The following table gives the position s(t) of an object moving along a line at time t. Determine the average velocities over the time intervals [1, 1.01], [1, 1.001],and [1, 1.0001]. Then make a conjecture about the value of the instantaneous velocity at t = 1.arrow_forward
- A container can contain 240 Gallon of clear water. The clear water containing 4 lbs of sugar per Gal enters the Container at a rate of 16 Gal/Minute, and the A fully mixed solution is pumped out of the container at a constant rate of 8 Gal/Min. Originally, the container contains clear water and has a max. capacity of 500 Gal. Find the t-interval of interest and how much sugar is in the container after 25 minutes.arrow_forwardThe demand x for a web camera is 40,000 units per month when the price is $20 and 45,000 units when the price is $15. The initial investment is $250,000 and the cost per unit is $13. Assume that the demand is a linear function of the price. Find the profit P, in dollars, as a function of x. P(x)= Using the differential approximate the change in profit for a one-unit increase in sales when x = 26,000. dP=arrow_forwardHooke’s Law In Exercises 65-68, use Hooke’s Law, which states that the distance a spring stretches (or compresses) from its natural, or equilibrium, length varies directly as the applied force on the spring. The coiled spring of a toy supports the weight of a child. The weight of a 25-pound child compresses the spring a distance of 1.9 inches. The toy does not work properly when a weight compresses the spring more than 3 inches. What is the maximum weight for which the toy works properly?arrow_forward
