Question 1049104: In a time of t seconds, a particle moves a distance of s meters from its starting point; where s=4*t^2+3.
a) Find the average velocity between t=1 and t=1+h if:
I) h=0.1, II) h=0.01, III) h=0.001.
b) Use your answers to part (a) to estimate the instantaneous velocity of the particle at time t=1
Your answer should consist of four values, three for (a) and one for (b)

a) I)







Do the other two the same way.

For part B, you should notice that the result is getting closer to some limit.
