question 1-4

DETAILS ASK YOUR TEACHER In the book, Calculus Diaries, How Math Can Help You Lose Weight, Win in Vegas, and Survive a Zombie Apocalypse, the author suggests a hypothetical discussion around instantaneous change, where her husband is ticketed for running a red light and there is photographic evidence. What is his rebuttal of this evidence? The evidence was his average speed, not his instantaneous speed. Since speed is irrelevant to running a red light, he said that the evidence was irrelevant. The photograph showed only position not movement of car. The officer had never taken Calculus - so he did not know the rules of change.
