Finding an Average Speed
• To find average speed you divide the distance covered by elapsed time.
• Solid objects dropped from rest will fall y = 16t2 feet in the first t seconds
• Average speed of the rock over any given time interval is the distance traveled, Δy, divided by the length of the interval Δt.

Definition of Free Fall
• Near the surface of the earth, all bodies fall with the same constant acceleration. The distance a body falls after it is released from rest is a constant multiple of the square of the time fallen. At least, that is what happends when a body falls in a vacuum, where there is no air to slow it down. The square-of-time rule also holds for dense, heavy objects like rocks, ball bearings, and steel tools during the first few seconds of fall through air, before the velocity builds up to where air resistance begins to matter. When air resistance is absent or insignificant and the only force acting on a falling body is the force of gravity, we call the way the body falls free fall.

Example
A rock breaks loose from the top of a cliff. What is the average speed during the first 2 seconds of fall?
Solution:
Δy 16(2)2 – 16(0)2 32 ft/sec
Δt 2 – 0

Finding Instantaneous Speed
• Find the speed of the rock in the previous example at the instant t = 2.
• Idea- calculate from t = 2 to slightly later time t = 2+h– Solution
Δy 16(2 + h)2 – 16(2)2
Δt h

Make a chart with values close to 0 because h ≠ 0 or the fraction would be undefined

Solution
• As h approaches 0 average speed approaches the limiting value 64 ft/sec.
• Algebraically
16(2 + h)2 – 16(2)2

Definition of Limit
• Let c and L be real numbers. The function f has a limit L as x approaches c if, given any positive number ɛ, there is a positive number δ such that for all x,
0 < |x – c| < δ => |f(x) – L| < ɛ
We write
* A limit is the “height” of a graph at a particular point, i.e. the y value

**NOTE**
• As with polynomials, limits of many familiar functions can be found by substitution at points where they are defined. These properties apply to trig functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, and composites of the functions.

Exploring a Nonexistent Limit
• Use a graph to show that does not exist.
• Solution: Notice that the denominator is 0 when x is replaced by 2, so we cannot use substitution to determine the limit. The graph suggests that as x2 from either side, the absolute values of the function values get very large. Therefore the limit does not exist.
