Ascent rate of a scuba diver Divers who ascend too quickly in the water risk decompression illness. A common recommendation for a maximum rate of ascent is 30 feet/minute with a 5-minute safety stop 15 feet below the surface of the water. Suppose that a diver ascends to the surface in 8 minutes according to the velocity function
- a. Graph the velocity function v.
- b. Compute the area under the velocity curve.
- c. Interpret the physical meaning of the area under the velocity curve.

- bThe average rate of change of the linear function f(x)=3x+5 between any two points is ________.arrow_forwardDoes 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?arrow_forwardUse the table of values you made in part 4 of the example to find the limiting value of the average rate of change in velocity.arrow_forward
