A car travels along a straight road for 30 seconds starting at time t = 0. Its acceleration in ft/sec2 is given by the linear graph below for the time interval [0, 30]. At t = 0, the velocity of the car is 0 and its position is 10.

What is the velocity of the car when t = 6? You must show your work and include units in your answer.

If you want to directly do this crap, just calculate the area under the curve, which is how you graphically interpret antiderivatives.

I can calculate it as a triangle right?

parthkohli · Answer

It's not really a triangle from t = 0 to t = 6
So more like a trapezoid

erinkb99 · Answer

Ugh, can I use the trapezoidal rule? I don't really have set values

parthkohli · Answer

What's that?
