At a basketball game, members of the Spirit Club use a t-shirt cannon to launch team t-shirts to spectators in the stands. The equation below describes the height of the t-shirt seconds after it is shot from the cannon feet above the ground, at an initial velocity of . Solve the equation for the initial velocity .
The cannon launched a t-shirt from an initial height of 5 feet. After 3 seconds the shirt has reached a height of 131 feet. Use your equation from #1 to find the initial velocity of the t-shirt. Show your work.
What does the equation from #1 tell you about the value of the velocity when ? Explain.

step-by-step explanation:

1 number

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.

step-by-step explanation:

the solution is x=1

step-by-step explanation:

we are given our   equation as

let's assume

left side function is

right side function is

now, we can draw graph

and then we can get intersection point

the intersection point will be solution

so, the solution is

x=1
