Concept explainers
a.
To calculate the distance travelled by the motorcycle during time period.
a.
Answer to Problem 12E
The distance travelled by the motorcycle during time period is,
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The table is given as:
Time period,
Calculation:
The distance travelled by the motorcycle during time period can be obtained as,
Therefore,
The distance travelled by the motorcycle during time period is,
b.
To calculate the velocities at the end of the time periods.
b.
Answer to Problem 12E
The velocities at the end of the time periods is,
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Time period,
Calculation:
The velocities at the end of the time periods.
Therefore,
The velocities at the end of the time periods is,
c.
To compare the estimates in part (a) and (b).
c.
Answer to Problem 12E
Left or Right estimate do not correspond with Upper or Lower estimate.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Time period,
Calculation:
The velocity function is not strictly decreasing on
So,
Left or Right estimate do not correspond with Upper or Lowerestimate.
