Solve the Problem $\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { t } ) = 4 + 130 \mathrm { t } - 4.9 \mathrm { t } ^ { 2 }$

question 34

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-An arrow is shot straight up from level ground. The distance (in meters) of the arrow above the ground (the position function) is $\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { t } ) = 4 + 130 \mathrm { t } - 4.9 \mathrm { t } ^ { 2 }$ at any time $\mathrm { t }$ (in sec) . Find $\mathrm { f } ^ { \prime } ( 1 )$ and the initial velocity of the arrow.

• A) \(\mathrm { f } ^ { \prime } ( 1 ) = 120.2\); initial velocity \(= 130 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }\)
• B) \(\mathrm { f } ^ { \prime } ( 1 ) = 124.2\); initial velocity \(= 130 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }\)
• C) \(f ^ { \prime } ( 1 ) = 120.2\); initial velocity \(= 4 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }\)
• D) \(f ^ { \prime } ( 1 ) = - 9.8\); initial velocity \(= 130 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }\)
