Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 3
#### (a)

Here we have a $textbf{graph}$ of the boat’s speed versus time:

Step 2
2 of 3
#### (b)

The average rate of change in speed from $t=6$ to $t=8$ is:

$textbf{average rate of change}$ = $dfrac{25-3}{8-6}=11$

The average rate of change in speed from $t=8$ to $t=13$ is:

$textbf{average rate of change}$ = $dfrac{25-25}{13-8}=0$

$textbf{We can conclude that speed is increasing from $t=6$ to $t=8$ and it is constant from $t=8$ to $t=13$.}$

#### (c)

$textbf{Instaneous rate of change is equaivalent to the slope of tangent line in this point}$ because the graph is linear function in this point, so:

$textbf{instaneous rate of change}$ = $11$.

(b) 11, 0;(c) 11
Exercise 2
Step 1
1 of 2
#### (a)

The slope is:

$textbf{slope}$ = $dfrac{25-70}{50-5}=-1$

#### (b)

Slope is negative, that means that temperature is decreasing while time is increasing.

#### (c)

Using linear regression, we get that equation of give function is $f(x)=0.01x^2-1.88x+80.97$, and its derivative is $f'(x)=0.02x-1.88$.So, the slope of the tangent line in point $(30,35)$ is:

$textbf{slope}$ = $f'(30)=-1.28$

#### (d)

Result from part (c) means that temperatue is decreasing at that moment.
#### (e)

In this case, temperature will decrease faster.

Exercise 3
Step 1
1 of 2
#### (a)

Average rate of change over the interval $8leq{x}leq10$ is:

$textbf{average rate of change}$ = $dfrac{P(10)-P(8)}{10-8}=310$
#### (b)

Instaneous rate of change at $x=50$ is:

$textbf{instaneous rate of change}$ = $dfrac{P(50.01)-P(49.99)}{50.01-49.99}=100$
#### (c)

The differnce is that at part (a) we calculated average rate of change over the given period and at part (b) at given moment.

Result

(a) 310; (b) 100
Exercise 4
Step 1
1 of 3
#### (a)

First, we will estimate instaneous rate of change in point $p=-1$ on interval $-1.01leq-1leq-0.99$:

$textbf{instaneous rate of change}$ = $dfrac{h(-0.99)-h(-1.01)}{-0.99+1.01}=-1$

Now, we will estimate instaneous rate of change for $p=-0.75$ on interval $-0.76leq-0.75leq-0.74$:

$textbf{instaneous rate of change}$ = $dfrac{h(-0.74)-h(-0.76)}{-0.74+0.76}=0$

In point $p=1$, we will estimate instaneous rate of change on interval $0.99leq1leq1.01$:

$textbf{instaneous rate of change}$ = $dfrac{h(1.01)-h(0.99)}{1.01-0.99}=7$

Only for point $p=-0.75$ instaneous rate of change is equivalent to $0$, so, in this point might be minimum or maximum. We have next:

$h(-0.75)=-1.125$

$h(-0.74)=h(-0.76)=-1.1248$

We can see that in points after and before point $p=-0.75$ values are greater, so, we can conclude that in this point is $textbf{minimum}$.

Step 2
2 of 3
#### (a)

First, we will estimate instaneous rate of change in point $x=-2$ on interval $-2.01leq-2leq-1.99$:

$textbf{instaneous rate of change}$ = $dfrac{k(-1.99)-k(-2.01)}{-1.99+2.01}=4.5$

Now, we will estimate instaneous rate of change for $x=4$ on interval $3.99leq4leq4.01$:

$textbf{instaneous rate of change}$ = $dfrac{k(4.01)-k(3.99)}{4.01-3.99}=-4.5$

In point $x=1$, we will estimate instaneous rate of change on interval $0.99leq1leq1.01$:

$textbf{instaneous rate of change}$ = $dfrac{k(1.01)-k(0.99)}{1.01-0.99}=0$

Only for point $x=1$ instaneous rate of change is equivalent to $0$, so, in this point might be minimum or maximum. We have next:

$k(1)=13.75$

$k(0.99)=k(1.01)=13.74999$

We can see that in points after and before point $x=1$ values are smaller, so, we can conclude that in this point is $textbf{maximum}$.

3 of 3
(a) $p=-0.75$ is minimum; (b) $x=1$ is maximum
