Consider the quadratic function f(x)=−4x2+32xf\left(x\right)=-4x^2+32xf(x)=−4x2+32x. Calculate the slopes of the secant lines between the points (x,f(x))\left(x,f\left(x\right)\right)(x,f(x)) and (4,f(4))\left(4,f\left(4\right)\right)(4,f(4)), for x=3.5,3.9,3.99,3.999x=3.5,3.9,3.99,3.999x=3.5,3.9,3.99,3.999.
Consider the position function s(t)=−12t2+60ts(t) = -12t^2 + 60ts(t)=−12t2+60t. Approximate the instantaneous velocity at t=1t=1t=1 by completing the given table with the average velocities.
A runner's position along a track is recorded at various times during a race. The data is presented in a table. Find the runner's average velocity between the time interval of 0 to 2 seconds.
Identify the vertical asymptote of the function f(x)=x2−4x+42x−8f\left(x\right)=\frac{x^2-4x+4}{2x-8}f(x)=2x−8x2−4x+4.
Determine limx→−2−f(x)\displaystyle \lim_{x \to -2^-}{f(x)}x→−2−limf(x) using the following graph:
The revenue of a company over time can be modeled by the function R(t)=5000t2t+5R\left(t\right)=\frac{5000t}{2t+5}R(t)=2t+55000t. Determine whether a steady-state exists and provide its value as ttt approaches ∞\infty∞.
Find the limit of the given function at infinity.
