Please solve this:

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

OpenStudy (perl):

( [12 (1+h) - 1.86(1+h)^2 ] - 10.14 ) /h

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

:) YES!

OpenStudy (perl):

( [12 (1+h) - 1.86(1+h)^2 ] - 10.14 ) /h = ( 12(1+h) - 1.86 ( 1 +h)(1+h) - 10.14 ) / h

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Right. I'm at 12+12H-1.86H^2-3.72H-1.86-10.14

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

yeppers...can you simplify more for me?

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

I just dont get this @perl

OpenStudy (perl):

which part?

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

How did they get the 6.42?

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

@perl

OpenStudy (perl):

You calculated the general average velocity for time [ 1, 1 + h ] in the stuff above

OpenStudy (perl):

so instead of finding the average velocity on [1,2] directly by doing [ y(2) - y(1) ] / ( 2 - 1) , you found the general average velocity for any time [ 1, 1+h] . so h can be any number, like 1 or 2 ,

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

but how did they get this? the 8.2-1.8

OpenStudy (perl):

the advantage of solving the general average velocity is that now you can plug in any value for h

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

I understand that...but how did they do the first part (1 of 4)??? Because when I solve it, or when we did, we dont get that!!!!

OpenStudy (perl):

The average velocity on [ 1, 1 + h ] , is

OpenStudy (perl):

sorry open study crashed

OpenStudy (perl):

one second reading over

OpenStudy (perl):

ok i think i made a mistake

OpenStudy (perl):

=( 12(1+h) - 1.86 ( 1 +h)(1+h) - 10.14 ) / h = ( 12(1+h) - 1.86 ( 1 + h + h + h^2) - 10.14) / h = ( 12 + 12h - 1.86( 1 + 2h + h^2) - 10.14 ) / h = ( 12 + 12h - 1.86 - 3.72h - 1.86h^2 - 10.14) / h = ( 12 - 1.86 - 10.14 +12h - 3.72h - 1.86h^2) / h = ( 8.28h - 1.86h^2)/h

OpenStudy (perl):

do you agree so far?

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Yes

OpenStudy (perl):

=( 12(1+h) - 1.86 ( 1 +h)(1+h) - 10.14 ) / h = ( 12(1+h) - 1.86 ( 1 + h + h + h^2) - 10.14) / h = ( 12 + 12h - 1.86( 1 + 2h + h^2) - 10.14 ) / h = ( 12 + 12h - 1.86 - 3.72h - 1.86h^2 - 10.14) / h = ( 12 - 1.86 - 10.14 +12h - 3.72h - 1.86h^2) / h = ( 8.28h - 1.86h^2)/h = h ( 8.28 - 1.86h) / h = 8.28 - 1.86h

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Can you show me how you get the 8.28?

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Nevermind. I see.

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Thanks. Got it.

OpenStudy (perl):

=( 12(1+h) - 1.86 ( 1 +h)(1+h) - 10.14 ) / h = ( 12(1+h) - 1.86 ( 1 + h + h + h^2) - 10.14) / h = ( 12 + 12h - 1.86( 1 + 2h + h^2) - 10.14 ) / h = ( 12 + 12h - 1.86 - 3.72h - 1.86h^2 - 10.14) / h = ( 12 - 1.86 - 10.14 +12h - 3.72h - 1.86h^2) / h = ( 0 + 12h - 3.72h - 1.86h^2 ) / h = (8.28h - 1.86h^2)/h = h ( 8.28 - 1.86h) / h = 8.28 - 1.86h

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Now I can use the intervals!!!!!

OpenStudy (perl):

ok so now the average velocity on [ 1 , 1 + h] where h is any number , is equal to 8.28 - 1.68*h. In particular, if you want the average velocity on [ 1 , 2] , you can put it in the form [ 1 , 1 + 1 ] , so here h = 1

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Yes! Yay its nice understanding now.

OpenStudy (perl):

the average velocity on [ 1 , 1 + h] where h is any number is equal to 8.28 - 1.68*h. In particular, if you want the average velocity on [ 1 , 2] , you can put it in the form [ 1 , 1 + 1 ] , so here h = 1 , and then plug in h=1 into the formula above. 8.28 - 1.68*1 .

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

YAY!!!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

NOT A PERL, BUT A DIAMOND!

OpenStudy (perl):

if you wanted the average velocity on [ 1, 4] , what would you do ?

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

I would so something like 4=1+h so H=3

OpenStudy (perl):

so we can use our average velocity formula that we found on [ 1, 1 + h ] , here [ 1 , 1 + 3] , so h = 3

OpenStudy (perl):

right :D

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

:) :) :) $$$$$$$$$$$ for you!

OpenStudy (perl):

so now you dont have to keep doing the whole average velocity formula for each new interval, since we found a general formula on [ 1, 1 + h]

OpenStudy (perl):

and then just pick h appropriately

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Thanks so much. You saved my day.
