Let f be the function given by f(t) = 2ðt + sin(2ðt)
a) Find the value of t in the open interval (0,20 for which the line tangent at (t, f(t)) is parallel to the line through (0,0) and (2,4ð)
b) Suppose the given function describes the position of a particle on the x-axis for time (0,2). What is the average velocity of the particle over that interval?
c) Determine the velocity and acceleration of the particle at t=1. Is the object speeding up or slowing down?

  4. f(t) = 2 pi t + sin 2 pi t

    line through (0,0) and (2 , 4 pi) has slope 4 pi/2 = 2 pi

    Where does our function have slope = 2 pi?
    df/dt = 2 pi + 2 pi cos 2 pi t
    so when is df/dt = 2 pi?
    2 pi = 2 pi + 2 pi cos 2 pi t
    cos 2 pi t = 0
    2 pi t = pi/2 , 3 pi/2 , 5 pi/2 , 7 pi/2 etc
    so
    t = 1/4 , 3/4 , 5/4, 7/4 , ......
    are you sure you mean 20 and not 2?
    Part b
    f(2) = 2 pi*2 + sin 4 pi = 4 pi +0 = 4 pi
    f(0) = 0 + 0 = 0
    F(2) - F(0) = 4 pi
    4 pi/2 = 2 pi = distance / time = av speed.

    part c
    v = df/dt = 2 pi + 2 pi cos 2 pi t
    a = d^2f/dt^2 = -4 pi^2 sin 4 pi t
    at t = 1
    v = 2 pi + 2 pi = 4 pi
    a = 0 so it is not speeding up or slowing down.

  5. Oh, for part A I mean 2, sorry about that.

    Thanks much for the help!
