Sorry, you have to calculate the value of your function at time t=1, and t=4, so please substitute those value in your function f(t)=6t^2+2t, and you will get two values, for f, please write them!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

namely: f(1)=... and f(4)=...

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right, now, by definition of average spedd, you have to calculate this ratio: \[\frac{ f(4)-f(1) }{ 4-1 }\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please try!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

you have to calculate this ratio, please: \[\frac{ 104-8 }{ 4-1 }\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

its value

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

perfect, it is your average speed, don't forget to indicate the right unit of measure

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

miles/hours
