After seconds, with
Velocity is the derivative of position . It is also true that acceleration (the rate of change of velocity) is the derivative of velocity. If a race car’s position in miles t hours after the start of a race is given by the function , what are the units of ? What are the units and real-world interpretation of ? What are the units and real-world interpretations of ?
For each function and interval in Exercises , use the Intermediate Value Theorem to argue that the function must have at least one real root on . Then apply Newton’s method to approximate that root.
