Capitolo 3, Problema 3.6.12a
Airline travel The following figure shows the position function of an airliner on an out-and-back trip from Seattle to Minneapolis, where s = f(t) is the number of ground miles from Seattle t hours after take-off at 6:00 A.M. The plane returns to Seattle 8.5 hours later at 2:30 P.M. <IMAGE>
a. Calculate the average velocity of the airliner during the first 1.5 hours of the trip (0 ≤ t ≤ 1.5).
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the position function s = f(t), which represents the number of ground miles from Seattle at time t hours after take-off.
To find the average velocity over the interval [0, 1.5], use the formula for average velocity: \( \text{Average Velocity} = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a} \), where a and b are the endpoints of the time interval.
In this problem, a = 0 and b = 1.5, so substitute these values into the formula: \( \text{Average Velocity} = \frac{f(1.5) - f(0)}{1.5 - 0} \).
Determine the values of f(1.5) and f(0) from the position function or the given figure, which represent the distances at t = 1.5 hours and t = 0 hours, respectively.
Substitute the values of f(1.5) and f(0) into the average velocity formula to find the average velocity over the first 1.5 hours of the trip.

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Position Function
The position function, denoted as s = f(t), describes the location of an object over time. In this context, it represents the distance of the airliner from Seattle as a function of time since take-off. Understanding this function is crucial for analyzing the motion of the airliner and calculating various rates of change, such as velocity.

Relations and Functions
Average Velocity
Average velocity is defined as the total displacement divided by the total time taken. For the airliner, it can be calculated by finding the change in position over the specified time interval (0 ≤ t ≤ 1.5 hours). This concept is essential for understanding how fast the plane is moving on average during the first part of its journey.

{Use of Tech} Approximating derivatives Assuming the limit exists, the definition of the derivative f′(a) = lim h→0 f(a + h) − f(a) / h implies that if ℎ is small, then an approximation to f′(a) is given by
f' (a) ≈ f(a+h) - f(a) / h. If ℎ > 0 , then this approximation is called a forward difference quotient; if ℎ < 0 , it is a backward difference quotient. As shown in the following exercises, these formulas are used to approximate f′ at a point when f is a complicated function or when f is represented by a set of data points. <IMAGE>
