Question: `q001. The function y = .05 t^2 - 6 t + 100 is related to the rate function y ' = .1 t - 6 in that if y = .05 t^2 - 6 t +

100 represents the depth, then the depth change between any two clock times t is the same as that predicted by the rate

function y ' = .1 t - 6. We saw before that for y ' = .1 t - 6, the depth change between t = 20 and t = 30 had to be 35 cm.

Show that for the depth function y = .05 t^2 - 6t + 100, the change in depth between t = 20 and t = 30 is indeed 35 cm.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

at t= 20

y=.05(20^2)-6(20)+100

y= .05(400)-120+100

y= 20 -120 + 100

y=0

at t=30

y=.05(30^2)-6(30)+100

y=.05(900)-180+100

y=45-180+100

y= -35

|0-35|= 35 (absolute value)

I remember from a previous problem we should check this by rate of change

so (20,0) (30,-35)

(-35-0)/10= 7/2= 3.5

this would be -3.5 cm/s

in ten seconds this would be 35cm.

confidence rating #$&*:3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`aThe depth at t = 20 will be .05(20^2) - 6(20) + 100 = 20 - 120 + 100 = 0.

The depth at t = 30 will be .05(30^2) - 6(30) + 100 = 45 - 180 + 100 = -35.

Thus the depth changes from 0 cm to -35 cm during the 10-second time interval between t = 20 s and t = 30 s. This gives us

and average rate of

ave rate = change in depth / change in clock time = -35 cm / (10 sec) = -3.5 cm/s.

Question: `q002. What depth change is predicted by the rate function y ' = .1 t - 6 between t = 30 and t = 40? What is the

change in the depth function y = .05 t^2 - 6 t + 100 between t = 30 and t = 40? How does this confirm the relationship

between the rate function y ' and the depth function y?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

y'=.1(30)-6

y'= 3-6

y'= -3

y'=.1(40)-6

y'= 4-6

y'= -2

These are rates of change, so the average rate of change between them would be -2.5, and ten seconds have past, so the

depth will have dropped 25cm. between t= 30 and t= 40.

y'=2at+b 2(.5)=.1

y'=.1a+b

This shows the derivative is for the function given.

y= .05(30^2)-6(30)+100

y=45-180+100

y= -35

y=.05(40^2)-6(40)+100

y=80-240+100

y= -60

the distance from -60 to -35 is 25, showing a change of 25cm

confidence rating #$&*:3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`aAt t = 30 and t = 40 we have y ' = .1 * 30 - 6 = -3 and y ' = .1 * 40 - 6 = -2. The average of the two corresponding rates

is therefore -2.5 cm/s. During the 10-second interval between t = 30 and t = 40 we therefore predict the depth change of

predicted depth change based on rate function = -2.5 cm/s * 10 s = -25 cm.

At t = 30 the depth function was previously seen to have value -35, representing -35 cm. At t = 40 sec we evaluate the

depth function and find that the depth is -60 cm. The change in depth is therefore

depth change has predicted by depth function = -60 cm - (-35 cm) = -25 cm.

The relationship between the rate function and the depth function is that both should predict a same change in depth between

the same two clock times. This is the case in this example.

Question: `q003. Show that the change in the depth function y = .05 t^2 - 6 t + 30 between t = 20 and t = 30 is the same as

that predicted by the rate function y ' = .1 t - 6. Show the same for the time interval between t = 30 and t = 40. Note that

the predictions for the y ' function have already been made.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

y(20)=20-120+30

y(20)= -70

y(30)= 45-180+30

y(30)=-105

y(40)= 80 - 240 + 30

y(40)= -130

-70 to -105 is -35 which is from t=20 to t=30

y'=-4 for t=20 and

y'=-3 for t=30

these are rates, and the average between them would be -3.5, from 20-30 is 10 seconds so -3.5 * 10 = -35cm

this one is correct

from -105 to -130 is -25

y' is -3 for t=30 and

y'=-2 for t=40

these are rates, average between them would be -2.5, and there are ten seconds from t=30 and t=40 so -2.5 * 10 is -25cm.

this one is also correct.

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`aThe prediction from the rate function is a depth change of -35 cm, and has already been made in a previous problem.

Evaluating the new depth function at t = 20 we get y = .05(20^2) - 6(20) + 30 = -70, representing -70 cm. Evaluating the

same function at t = 30 we get y = -105 cm. This implies the depth change of -105 cm - (-70 cm) = -35 cm.

Evaluating the new depth function at t = 40 sec we get y = depth = -130 cm. Thus the change from t = 30 to t = 40 is -130

cm - (-105 cm) = -25 cm. This is identical to the change predicted in the preceding problem for the given depth function.

Question: `q004. Why is it that the depth functions y = .05 t^2 - 6 t + 30 and y = .05 t^2 - 6 t + 100 give the same change

in depth between two given clock times?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

the only different value is c in those equations, which only changes the position of the line on the graph, not its slope. The

slope remains constant, only the x,y values are different.

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`aThe only difference between the two functions is a constant number at the end. One function and with +30 and the other

with +100. The first depth function will therefore always be 70 units greater than the other. If one changes by a certain

amount between two clock times, the other, always being exactly 70 units greater, must also change by the same amount

between those two clock times.

Question: `q005. We saw earlier that if y = a t^2 + b t + c, then the average rate of depth change between t = t1 and t = t1

+ `dt is 2 a t1 + b + a `dt. If `dt is a very short time, then the rate becomes very clost to 2 a t1 + b. This can happen for any

t1, so we might as well just say t instead of t1, so the rate at any instant is y ' = 2 a t + b. So the functions y = a t^2 + b t + c

and y ' = 2 a t + b are related by the fact that if the function y represents the depth, then the function y ' represents the rate at

which depth changes. If y = .05 t^2 - 6 t + 100, then what are the values of a, b and c in the form y = a t^2 + b t + c? What

therefore is the function y ' = 2 a t + b?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

the first already states its a,b and c values.

a= .05

b= -6

c= 100

the function for the derivative

y'= 2at+b with the values given above would create

y'=.1t-6

???I thought of something, could there be any use of knowing one quadratic function, and another, DIFFERENT, functions

derivative, and using the previous functions values for the derivative? It seems useless to be able to do this to me, but I would

like to make sure.

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`aIf y = .05 t^2 - 6 t + 100 is of form y = a t^2 + b t + c, then a = .05, b = -6 and c = 100. The function y ' is 2 a t + b.

With the given values of a and b we see that y ' = 2 ( .05) t + (-6), which simplifies to y ' = .1 t - 6

Question: `q006. For the function y = .05 t^2 - 6 t + 30, what is the function y ' ?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

knowing the derivative of a quadratic is y'=2at+b, and being given the values of a and b already.

y'=.1t-6

confidence rating #$&*:3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`aThe values of a, b and c are respectively .05, -6 and 30. Thus y ' = 2 a t + b = 2(.05) t + (-6) = .1 t - 6.

This is identical to the y ' function in the preceding example. The only difference between the present y function and the last is

the constant term c at the end, 30 in this example and 100 in the preceding. This constant difference has no effect on the

derivative, which is related to the fact that it has no effect on the slope of the graph at a point.

Question: `q007. For some functions y we can find the rate function y ' using rules which we will develop later in the course.

We have already found the rule for a quadratic function of the form y = a t^2 + b t + c. The y ' function is called the

derivative of the y function, and the y function is called an antiderivative of the y ' function. What is the derivative of the

function y = .05 t^2 - 6 t + 130? Give at least two new antiderivative functions for the rate function y ' = .1 t - 6.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

the derivative for the function y = .05 t^2 - 6 t + 130 is

y'=.1t-6

???I see y'=.1t-6 frequent your problems a bit, is this a common derivative in math, or just one you favor?

for new antiderivative functions, changing the c value will give new functions so

y = .05 t^2 - 6 t + c would make them

I will choose

y = .05 t^2 - 6 t -10

and

y = .05 t^2 - 6 t + 72

confidence rating #$&*: ok

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`aThe derivative of y = .05 t^2 - 6 t + 130 is .1 t - 6; as in the preceding problem this function has a = .05 and b = -6, and

differs from the preceding two y functions only by the value of c. Since c has no effect on the derivative, the derivative is the

same as before.

If y ' = .1 t - 6, then a = 1 / 2 ( .1) = .05 and b = -6 and we see that the function y is y = .05 t^2 - 6 t + c, where c can be

any constant. We could choose any two different values of c and obtain a function which is an antiderivative of y ' = .1 t - 6.

Let's use c = 17 and c = -54 to get the functions y = .05 t^2 - 6 t + 17 and y = .05 t^2 - 6 t - 54.

Question: `q008. For a given function y, there is only one derivative function y '. For a given rate function y ', there is more

than one antiderivative function. Explain how these statements are illustrated by the preceding example.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

every function y will have its own rate of change, which is the derivative y'. (this makes me think of using the vertical line test,

for each x, there is one and only one y.)

the derivative can have many functions with that rate of change, just relocated on the graph using c

that is why we could use

y = .05 t^2 - 6 t + c

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`aThe derivative function give the rate at which the original function changes for every value of t, and there can be only one

rate for a given t. Thus the values of the derivative function are completely determined by the original function. In the

previous examples we saw several different functions with the same derivative function. This occurred when the derivative

functions differed only by the constant number at the end.

However, for a given derivative function, if we get one antiderivative, we can add any constant number to get another

antiderivative. y = .05 t^2 - 6 t +17, y = .05 t^2 - 6 t + 30, and y = .05 t^2 - 6 t + 100, etc. are all antiderivatives of y ' = .1

t - 6.
