The height of an object after sec is
.
(a)
\Find the average velocity of the over
.
The average velocity is .
Therefore the average velocity of the object is .
(b)
\The function is continuous over closed interval
, and differentiable on the open interval.
Therefore mean value theorem can be applied.
\So, there exists at least one number in
such that
.
Apply derivative with respect to .
So .
Therefore from the Mean Value Theorem at sec, the instantaneous velocity equals the average velocity.
The average velocity of the object is .
The time where instantaneous velocity equals the average velocity is sec.
