If a ball is thrown into the air with a velocity of 48 ft/s, its height in feet t seconds later is given by y = 48t − 16t2. Find

the average velocity for the time period beginning when t = 2 and lasting for each of the following: 2.5 s, 2.1 s, 2.05 s, and 2.01 s.

The formula for average velocity between two times t1 and t2 of the position function f(x) is (f(t2)-f(t1)) / (t2-t1)
Plugging the values in for the first time period we get (f(2.5)-f(2)) / (2.5-2)
=> (f(2.5)-f(2)) / 0.5
f(2) will be the same for all 4 time periods and is
48(2)-16(2)^2 = 32
Now we plugin the other values
f(2.5) = 48(2.5)-16(2.5)^2 = 20
f(2.1) = 48(2.1)-16(2.1)^2 = 30.25
etc.
f(2.05) = 31.16
f(2.01) = 31.8384
Now plug these values into the formula
(20-32)/0.5 = -24
(30.25-32)/0.1 = -17.5
etc.
= -16.8
= -16.16
Final answer:
2.5s => -24 ft/s
2.1s => -17.5 ft/s
2.05 => -16.8 ft/s
2.01 => -16.16 ft/s
Hope I helped :)

Solve for x:<br> 1 1/5x−2 1/3&lt;1/7x+1 1/2
Mashcka [7]

Answer: x

Step-by-step explanation:

1\frac{1}{5}x-2\frac{1}{3}

Add 2\frac{1}{3} on both sides and subtract \frac{1}{7}x on both sides to leave x's on the left side and independent values on the right.

(2\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{7}x) +1\frac{1}{5}x-2\frac{1}{3}

1\frac{1}{5}x-\frac{1}{7}x

Solve the fractions.

1(\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{7})x

1(\frac{(1)(7)-(5)(1)}{(5)(7)} )x

1(\frac{7-5}{35} )x

1(\frac{2}{35} )x

1\frac{2}{35}x

Convert the mixed fraction 1\frac{2}{35} to an improper fraction. You can do this by multiplying 1 times 35 and adding 2.

\frac{37}{35}x

Now use the reciprocal (inverse fraction) and multiply on both sides to isolate x.

(\frac{35}{37}) (\frac{37}{35})x
