Question 1187921: 2. Suppose an object moves along the y-axis so that its location is y = f(x) = x^2 + x at time x (y is in meters and x is in seconds). Find the average velocity (the average rate of change of y with respect to x) for x changing from 2 to 9 seconds.

Suppose an object moves along the y-axis so that its location is y = f(x) = x^2 + x at time x
(y is in meters and x is in seconds). Find the average velocity (the average rate of change of y
with respect to x) for x changing from 2 to 9 seconds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    The position at x= 2 seconds is  y = 2^2 + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6 meters at y-axis.


    The position at x= 9 seconds is  y = 9^2 + 9 = 81 + 9 = 90 meters at y-axis.


    The displacement is  90-6 = 84 meters along y-axis in its positive direction.


    The average velocity vector is   =  = 12 meters per second, directed along y-axis.

Solved and explained in all details; all necessary terms are pronounced.

I am glad to notice that your post is/was prepared in a perfectly accurate way.
