someone help me with limits pleaseeeeeeeee
post your question..
it's a problem in my textbook
during the construction of high-rise building a worker accidentally dropped his portable from a height of 400 ft. after t sec, the portable had fallen a distance of s=16t2 ft
what are they asking for?
how long did it take to the portable to reach the ground?
btw t is exponent 2
you don't need limits here because they are just asking for the time it takes to hit the ground. so let s=400 , and plug it in the formula 400=16t^2 and solve for t. If they ask what is the rate of change/velocity(something like that), then you need to use limits..
ok thanks, yeah the 2 nexts questions are abu velocity
and i dont understand them either
what's the next question?
what was the average velocity of the portable between the time it was dropped and the time it hit the ground. and the other question is what was the velocity of the portable at the time it hit the ground?
, you need to solve for your very first question first before you can solve these two questions because it needs the time the portable hits the ground..tell me what you got and i'll guide you in solving these two questions..
the answer for the first question was 5 seconds
ok right, to solve for average velocity use this formula:\[Vavg=\frac{ s(5)-s(0) }{5-0 }\]
ok thanks!
we're not done yet?
no i dont think so because it's not the right answer lol
can you show me your solution?
i got the answer 1, and the nswer is supposed to b 80
how did you solve it?? it should be like this|dw:1379544237808:dw|
