Lesson6-SlopeTangentVelocity-1.docx

NAME: _______________________________________________________________________

1.

Find the equation of a tangent line that is tangent to the curve .

.

2.

Find the slope and then find the equation of a tangent line that is tangent to the curve.

.

3.

A. What is the slope of a tangent line to the function at a point?

.

B. What is the equation of the tangent line to that point?

4.

Assuming that a function represents the distance D measured in feet of a car that was slowing down respect to time t in seconds before it reached its destination.

a. What was the velocity of the car at 2 seconds? (Ans: V(3) = -15 ft/sec)

b. How many seconds did it take to make the car to come to a complete stop? (Ans: 3 sec)

c. What was the acceleration at 2 seconds? (Ans: A(2) = 12 ft/sec2)

5.

A ball is shot vertically up in the air from a hole on the ground with the initial velocity of 12 feet per second. The position of the ball in the air after t seconds is represented by the function where h: height of the ball in the air after t seconds and where t : time and, initial velocity and initial height respectively. Please find the following:

a.

How long would it take the ball to come back and hit the ground? ?

b.

What is the function velocity of the ball and what is the velocity of the moment of impact?

c.

What is the velocity of the ball after 2 seconds?
