Question

At 2:00pm a car's speedometer reads 60mph, and at 2:10pm it reads 65mph. Use the Mean Value Theorem to find an acceleration the car must achieve.

Answer( in mi/h2):

Answer 1

The line joining those two points has slope

(65-60) / (10/60)

That is the value v'(t) must achieve.

Answer 2

50mph^2
