The position of an object is given by the equation . Find the time at which the instantaneous velocity of the object equals the average velocity in the interval .
Assuming that the correct question is:
The position of an object is given by the equation s(t)=2t²+t-6. Find the time t at which the instantaneous velocity of the object equals the average velocity in the interval [0,3].
Given:
s(t)=2t²+t-6
We know that v(t)=ds(t)/dt
So, v(t)=d(2t²+t-6))/dt
v(t)=4t+1
Now calculating average velocity:
Note: We can also calculate vavg from the very basic formula:
or by using the formula:
Now we have,
Solving for t from the above equation.
So, at t=1.5s the instantaneous velocity of the object is equal to the average velocity.
