Let the function c(v) model the gas consumption (in liters/km) of a car going at velocity v (in kilometers/hour). In other words, c(v) tells you how many liters of gas the car uses to go 1 km, if it is going at velocity v.
You find that (80) 0.04 and '(80) 0.0004
1. Let the function d(v) model the distance the same car goes on 1 L of gas at velocity v.
a. Express the relationship between c(v) and d(v) in an
equation. [4 pts]
b. Find d(80) and d’(80). (Hint: Find the general d’(v) first.) [4
pts]
c. Interpret your result for d’(80) in a sentence. (That is, “When
the car is travelling at 80 kph ….” ) [4 pts] (Even if you couldn’t
get part b, you can still tell me what d’(80) means about the car.)
