Answer:
1) No, the car does not travel at constant speed.
2) V = 9 ft/s
3) No, the car does not travel at constant speed.
4) V = 5.9 ft/s
Explanation:
In order to know if the car is traveling at constant speed we need to derive the given formula. That way we get speed as a function of time:
V(t) = 2*t + 2 Since the speed depends on time, the speed is not constant at any time.
For the average speed we evaluate the formula for t=2 and t=5:
d(2) = 8 ft and d(5) = 35 ft
Again, for the average speed we evaluate the formula for t=1.8 and t=2.1:
d(1.8) = 6.84 ft and d(2.1) = 8.61 ft
