Math Problem Statement

its minus 3 not to the power of 3

Solution

Thank you for the clarification. The function is s(t)=1t3s(t) = \frac{1}{t^{-3}}, which simplifies to:

s(t)=t3s(t) = t^3

Now, to find the average rate of change of the function s(t)=t3s(t) = t^3 on the interval [0,1][0, 1], we use the formula:

Average Rate of Change=s(b)s(a)ba\text{Average Rate of Change} = \frac{s(b) - s(a)}{b - a}

Substituting a=0a = 0 and b=1b = 1:

s(1)=13=1s(1) = 1^3 = 1

s(0)=03=0s(0) = 0^3 = 0

Now, compute the average rate of change:

Average Rate of Change=1010=11=1\text{Average Rate of Change} = \frac{1 - 0}{1 - 0} = \frac{1}{1} = 1

So, the average rate of change of the function s(t)=t3s(t) = t^3 on the interval [0,1][0, 1] is 1.000 (to three decimal places).

Would you like further details or have any other questions?


Here are 5 related questions:

  1. How does the average rate of change relate to the derivative of a function?
  2. What is the significance of the average rate of change being constant over an interval?
  3. How would the average rate of change differ if we changed the interval to [1,2][1, 2]?
  4. Can the average rate of change of a cubic function ever be zero?
  5. How does the shape of the graph of a cubic function affect its average rate of change over different intervals?

Tip: When computing the average rate of change, always carefully check the interval boundaries and ensure that the function is well-defined at those points.
