Sound test, hello, hello.
00:03
Okay, we have this equation that defines the motion of an object along the x -axis.
00:11
X of t is 2 .9 t squared minus 2 t plus 3.
00:22
So that equation defines the x position as a function of time.
00:28
We want to find the average speed between 2 .1 and 3 .9.
00:38
Seconds.
00:41
Okay, so average speed is x final, sorry, the distance traveled over the time it takes, right? so how far does this travel between 3 .9 and 2 .1 seconds? well, the distance traveled in this case is just going to be x of 3 .9 minus x of 2 .1 divided by the difference in time so 3 .9 minus 2 .1 is that 1 .8 i think.
01:46
Right.
01:46
Okay.
01:48
So that gives us the average speed of 39 .3 meters per second.
02:06
Okay, as your average speed, what is the instantaneous speed at 2 .1 seconds? so that's, what i want to do here is take the derivative of x of t.
02:20
So velocity is the derivative, the time derivative, of x of t.
02:28
So take the derivative, you get, 5 .8 t minus 2...
