Rates of change and derivativesChapter 2: Practice/review problemsThe collection of problems listed below contains questions taken from previous MA123 exams.Average rates of change (Word Problems)[1]. A train travels from A to B to C. The distance from A to B is 10 miles and the distance from B to C is40 miles. The average velocity from A to B was 20 miles per hour and the average velocity f rom B to Cwas 40 miles per hour. What was the average velocity from A to C in miles per hour?(a) 180/5 (b) 90/3 (c) 100/3 (d) 180/3 (e) 100/5[2]. A train travels from city A to city B. It leaves city A at 10:30 am and arrives at city B at 1:30 pm. Thedistance between the cities is 150 miles. What was the average velocity of the train in miles per hour?(a) 60 (b) 150 (c) 50 (d) 75 (e) 130[3]. A train travels from city A to city B to city C. The distance from A to B is 20 miles. The distance fromB to C is 45 miles. The train took 1 hour for the trip from A to B, stopped at city B for 30 minutes,and then went from B to C at an average velocity of 30 m iles per hour. What was the average velocityof the train for the entire trip (in miles per hour)?(a) 65 (b) 25(c)652(d) 50(e)653[4]. A train travels from A to B to C. The distance from A to B is 30 miles and the distance from B to C is80 miles. The train leaves A at 10:00 AM and arrives at C at 3:00 PM. The average speed from A to Bwas 30 miles per hour. What was the average speed from B to C in m iles per hour?(a) 20 (b) 25 (c) 30 (d) 35 (e) 40[5]. A train travels from city A to city B. The cities are 600 miles apart. The distance from city A at t hoursafter the train leaves A is given by d(t) = 50t + t2.What is the average velocity of the train in miles per hour during the trip from A to B?(Hint: First find how long it takes for the train to get from A to B.)(a) 50 (b) 55 (c) 60 (d) 65 (e) 70[6]. John leaves at 9:00 am and drives from Lexington to Ashland arriving at 11:00 am. He stops for twohours since his girlfriend Mary is not yet ready. Then they drive together from Ashland to Columbusarriving at Columbus after a three-hour d rive.
