how do i do this

OpenStudy (reid19):

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You need to simplify the numerator: \([59(1 + h) - 0.83(1 + h)^2] - 58.17\)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

First, square the binonmial \((1 + h)^2\). If you don;t remember how top square a binomial, just write is as a product of two binomials an use FOIL. \((1 + h)^2 = (1 + h)(1 + h) \)

OpenStudy (reid19):

\[h ^{2}+2h+1\]

OpenStudy (reid19):

so is the answer for the two blanks .83

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Great. Now distribute the 59 through the first set of parentheses and the -0.83 through the second set of parentheses.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Distribute each number in red by the set of parentheses that follows it. \([\color{red}{59}(1 + h) \color{red}{- 0.83}(h^2 + 2h + 1)] - 58.17\)

OpenStudy (reid19):

i got the answer thanks for the help

OpenStudy (reid19):

why is this wrong

OpenStudy (reid19):

OpenStudy (reid19):

sorry wrong picture

what you need help with?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(\dfrac{[59(1 + h) - 0.83(h^2 + 2h + 1)] - 58.17}{h} =\) \(\dfrac{59 + 59h - 0.83h^2 -1.66 h -0.83 - 58.17}{h} =\) \(\dfrac{57.34h - 0.83h^2 }{h} =\) \(57.34 - 0.83h\)

estimating the speed when t=1

OpenStudy (reid19):

I figured out that equation mathstudent55 I don't understand how to estimate the speed when t=1

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You are not asked for the average speed at t = 1. You are being asked the average speed between t = 1 and t = 1.1, then t = 1 and t = 1.01, then t = 1 and t = 1.001.

OpenStudy (reid19):

so would the speed at t=1 be 57.34

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

What you calculated in the first part is how to find the average speed between t = 1 and t = 1 + h, h being an interval. For t = 1, h = 0. You are correct, at t = 0, v = 57.34

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Then when you want the average speed from t = 1 to t = 1.1, use h = 1.1 - 1 = 0.1 in the formula v = 57.34 - 0.83h

OpenStudy (reid19):

ok thanks
