Question:

A car travels in a straight line for 1 hour. Its velocity in miles per hour at six-minute intervals is shown in the table.

(a) Produce a reasonable graph of the velocity function v by graphing these points and connecting them with a smooth curve. 

(b) Find the open intervals over which the acceleration a is positive. 

(c) Find the average acceleration of the car (in miles per hour squared) over the interval [0, 0.4]. 

(d) What does the integral

signify? Approximate this integral using the Trapezoidal Rule with five subintervals.

(e) Approximate the acceleration at t = 0.8.
