Speedometer readings for a motorcycle at 12 second intervals

Last updated: 12/12/2023

Speedometer readings for a motorcycle at 12 second intervals are given in the table t s 0 12 24 36 48 60 v ft s 32 27 24 22 24 27 a Estimate the distance traveled by the motorcycle during this time period using the velocities at the beginning of the time intervals b Give another estimate using the velocities at the end of the time periods c Are your estimates in parts a and b upper and lower estimates Explain b is a lower estimate and a is an upper estimate since v is a decreasing function of t a is a lower estimate and b is an upper estimate since v is an increasing function of t a and b are neither lower nor upper estimates since v is neither an increasing nor decreasing function of t
