Question

Help me I'm new :)

The position of an object moving along a line is given by the function s(t)=-16t^2 + 128t. Find the average velocity of the object over the following intervals.
a. [1,4]
b. [1,3]
c. [1,2]

Answer 1

If \(s(t)\) is the position function, then the average velocity over some interval \([a,b]\) is given by
\[v_{average}=\frac{s(b)-s(a)}{b-a}\]
