The velocity for an object is a continuous function with values shown below. Table of v(t) t (seconds) v(t) (feet per second) 2 4 6 8 10 31 39 35 28 26 Approximate the total distance traveled by the object from 2 seconds to 10 seconds using a trapezoidal sum and 2 subintervals of equal length. A The total distance traveled from 2 seconds to 10 seconds is 254 feet. B The total distance traveled from 2 seconds to 10 seconds is 256 feet. C The total distance traveled from 2 seconds to 10 seconds is 248 feet. D The total distance traveled from 2 seconds to 10 seconds is 244 feet.

Step 1
The total time interval is from 2 seconds to 10 seconds, which is a length of 8 seconds. Since we are using 2 subintervals of equal length, each subinterval will have a length of 8/2 = 4 seconds. Show more…

the distance (in feet) of an object from a point is given by s(t)=2^t, where time is in t seconds. (a) what is the average velocity of the object between x=2 and x=4? -the average velocity between t=2 and t=4 is ____ ft/sec. (b) by using smaller and smaller intervals around 2, estimate the instantaneous velocity at time x=2. round your answer to the nearest integer. -the instantaneous velocity at is about ____ ft/sec
