calc. help

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

Yes???

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

@Mrs.ambrose614

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

anybody??

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

Yes you are

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

If: \[s(t)=60t-1.5t^2\] s(t)= position of car t= seconds after driver hits breaks \[s'(t)=60-2.25t\] *Velocity --> when velocity = 0 car stopped Find Critical Points: \[2.25t=60\] \[t=26.6\] aka the car comes to a stop @ 26.6 seconds

myininaya (myininaya):

(1.5t^2)' = 3t

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

cool, thank you!!! WHAt about these 2?? Im really confused on both..

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

oh shoot lol @myininaya XD yeah computational error

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

@sunnnystrong @myininaya

myininaya (myininaya):

it happens to us all :)

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

\[s'(t)=60-3t\]**** so/// Critical points @ t = 20sec ^^ same logic (:

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

@myininaya if you could please help me with the 2 i just posted, that would be fabulous!

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

@sunnnystrong you too :-) ^^

myininaya (myininaya):

you mean 3?

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

question 3 and 4 are tagged in the same picture so, no just the 2^

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

do you need me to attach it again??

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

@iwanttogotostanford i will try lol

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

thank you so much!

myininaya (myininaya):

are you asking help on finding the second derivative of t ln(2t) ? I don't see question 2.

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

they are both right there in that link to the attachment i already attached above

myininaya (myininaya):

You have two steps for number 3: Solve s'(t)=0 for t then plug that into s''(t)

myininaya (myininaya):

do you know how to find s'(t) if s(t)=t ln(2t) you need product rule and chain rule

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

Okay so: for question 3 s(t)=position of particle t=time (sec) \[s(t)=t*\ln(2t)\] recall that: first derivative = velocity second derivative = acceleration \[s'(t)=(\frac{ 2 }{ 2t }*t)+(ln(2t))\] \[s'(t)=ln(2t)+1\]

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

so... what @myininaya said. question 3 has 2 parts: find when the velocity of the particle = 0 (aka critical point of first derivative) & find the acceleration of the particle @ that time... solving for critical point of first derivative: *skipping some steps haha* \[-1=\ln(2t)\] \[e^{-1}=2t\] \[t=\frac{ 1 }{ 2e }\]

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

\[s''(t)=\frac{ 1 }{ t }\] Compute s''(t) @ t=2e^(-1) \[s''(2e ^{-1})=\frac{ 1 }{ 2e ^{-1} }\] =2e
