Answer:
[tex]Average\ Speed = \frac{s(7) - s(2)}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
t = 2 to 7
Required
Find the average speed over these intervals
The function is not given; so, I'll represent the function as s(t)
When [tex]t = 2;[/tex]
[tex]s(t)= s(2)[/tex]
When [tex]t = 7[/tex]
[tex]s(t) = s(7)[/tex]
[tex]Average\ Speed = \frac{Change\ in\ Distance}{Change\ in\ Time}[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]Average\ Speed = \frac{s(7) - s(2)}{7 - 2}[/tex]
[tex]Average\ Speed = \frac{s(7) - s(2)}{5}[/tex]
