    Given

    y (x) = x² + x (x represents time in seconds)

    A)

    value of y at x = 2

    = 2²+2 = 6 m

    value of y at x = 5

    = 5²+5 = 30 m

    displacement = 30 - 6 = 24 m

    Time duration = 5 - 2 = 3 s

    average velocity

    = displacement / Time duration

    = 24 / 3 = 8 m / s

    B) For x changing from x to x plus ie for small change in x:

    value of y at x = 2

    = 5

    For small change in x, the value of y will again be 5 so displacement during small change in x will be zero. Hence average velocity will be zero.

    C)

    y (x) = x² + x

    dy / dx = 2x + 1

    dy / dx represents instantaneous velocity

    so when x = 2

    instantaneous velocity = 2 x 2 + 1

    = 5 m / s
