uppose that s is the position function of an object, given as s(t)=4t+3. We compute the instantaneous velocity of the object at t=6 as follows. Use exact values.
First we compute and simplify s(6+h).
s(6+h)=27+4hCorrect
Then we compute and simplify the average velocity of the object between t=6 and t=6+h.
s(6+h)-s(6)h =27+4h27hCorrect
Rationalize the numerator in the average velocity. (If it applies, simplify again.)
s(6+h)-s(6)h =27+4h27Incorrect
The instantaneous velocity of the object at t=6 is the limit of the average velocity as h approaches zero.
v(6)=limh0 s(6+h)-s(6)h =23Incorrect
