Question

The height h (in feet) of an object shot into the air from a tall building is given by the function h(t) = 650 + 80t − 16t2, where t is the time elapsed in seconds. (a) Write a formula for the velocity of the object as a function of time t.

Answer 1

Answer:

80 - 32t

Explanation:

The height, h, in terms of time, t, is given as:

h(t) = 650 + 80t − 16t²

Velocity is the derivative of distance with respect to time:

v(t) = dh(t)/dt = 80 - 32t
