Concept explainers
Approximating displacement The velocity of an object is given by the following functions on a specified interval. Approximate the displacement of the object on this interval by subdividing the interval into n subintervals. Use the left endpoint of each subinterval to compute the height of the rectangles.

- If you travel 300 miles on the first day and then drive v miles per hour for t hours on the second day, then the total distance traveled over the teo-day period is given by d=300+vt miles. Use a formula to express v as a function of d and t for this two-day event.arrow_forwardA forest fire leaves behind an area of grass burned in an expanding circular pattern. If the radius of the circle of burning grass is increasing with time according to the formula r(t)=2t+1 , express the area burned as a function of time, t (minutes).arrow_forwardFind the unknown value. 27. y varies jointly with x and the cube root of 2. If when x=2 and z=27,y=12, find y if x=5 and z=8.arrow_forward
- You get on a ferris wheel at the bottom that has a radius of 25 feet. 13 minutes after you get on, you reach the top. The ferris wheel pauses there for 3 minutes, then proceeds to bring you back down over the course of another 13 minutes. Let H(t) give your height (in feet) during the course of your ride, from when you first enter to when you get back to the bottom, where t is the number of minutes since your ride began. What is the domain? What is the range? Hint: It may help to draw a picture of the ferris wheel. Domain: Range:arrow_forwardBisection Methodarrow_forward
