Question

 What is the average (mean) value of \(3t^{3}-t^{2} \)over the interval\( -1\leq t\leq 2 \)?

(A)\(\frac{11}{4}  \)          (B)\(\frac{7}{2} \)               (C)8                    (D)\(\frac{33}{4}\)                  (E) 16

▶️Answer/Explanation

Ans:A

Question

The average value of \(\sqrt{x}\) over the interval 0 ≤ 2 ≤ x  is

(A)\(\frac{1}{3}\sqrt{2}\)        (B)\(\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{2}\)          (C)\(\frac{2}{3}\sqrt{2} \)                (D) 1                    (E)\(\frac{4}{3}\sqrt{2}\)

▶️Answer/Explanation

Ans:C

Question

If the position of a particle on the x-axis at time t is \(−5t^{2}\) , then the average velocity of the particle for 0 ≤ t ≤ 3 is
(A) −45                           (B) −30                           (C) −15                                       (D) −10                                           (E) −5

▶️Answer/Explanation

Ans:C

Let \(x(t)=5t^2\) be the position at time t. Average velocity\frac{x(3)-x(0)}{3-0}=\frac{-45-0}{3}=-15\)
