1. a ball's position, in meters, as it travels every second is represented by the position function s(t) = 4.9t2+ 450.

what is the velocity of the ball after 5 seconds? with units

2.the cost in dollars of producing x units of a particular camera is c(x) = x2 – 1.

find the average rate of change of c with respect to x when the production level is changed from x = 100 to x = 101. include units in your answer.
find the instantaneous rate of change of c with respect to x when x = 100. include units in your answer.

1) The ball's position is described by:
s(t) = 4.9t² + 450
We want to find the velocity, which is the 1st-order derivative of the displacement function (I assume this is an introductory calculus class)
s'(t) = v(t) = 9.8t           
We get this by multiplying 4.9 x 2 and reducing the exponent by 1. Now we simply plug 5 in for t.
v(5) = 9.8* 5
v(5) = 49m/s

2) Our cost function is C(x) = x² - 10,000
To find the average rate of change between these units, we use this formula:
( C(101) - C(100) ) ÷1 .
We find the change in C, and divide by the change in x, which is just one. 
C(101) = 101² - 10,000
C(101) = 201

C(100) = 100² - 10,000
C(100= 0

C(101) - C(100) = 201 
Average rate of change in cost is 201 dollars/ unit between the two points. 

In all honesty, there really is no “work” per say to show. mainly it’s just using the process of elimination. the question is asking which domain(s) would be the most appropriate for the function c(n). n is the number of observed vehicles so right away, 1, 2, and 3 can be eliminated.why? 1, 2 start in the negatives and therefore it is impossible to observe negative cars. so, #4 would be the best answer to the given problem.
