Question: 1 7 . 4 At a time t seconds after a ball is thrown up in to the air, it is at a height of

17.4 At a time t seconds after a ball is thrown up in to the air, it is at a height of
f(t)=-4.9t2+16t+1 meters.
(a) What is the average velocity of the ball during the first second? Give units.
(b) Find the instantaneous velocity of the ball at t=1. Give units.
17.5 In [71], Steury and Murray model the cyclic trends of a hare population using
H(t)?b=ar(b)+m2cos(2t10)
where H(t) is the density of the hare population measured in hares per hectare at year t,bar(b) is the average hare density, and m is the difference between high and low hare densities. A particular population of hares has an average density of 1.06 hares/hectare, with a minimum density of 0.31 hares/hectare and a maximum density of 1.81 hares/hectare.
(a) How does this population vary with time? Using Matlab, graph H(t) for 5 years.
(b) Use the graph to determine at what times the population reaches a maximum value. A minimum value. Does the population density maxima and minima
