A mouse runs through a maze in less than a minute the first time it tries. Its times got better for a while with each new try but then got worse(it took longer) due to fatigue. If the time to complete the maze on the nth try can be modeled by the equation t(n)=0.4n^2-8n+50, where n is the number of the trial and t is the time it takes to complete the trial(in seconds). a) use the definition of derivative as a difference quotient to find the instantaneous rate of change of t at trial n.
b) Use Calculus to determine which trial was the fastest
c) compare the average rate of change in time to complete the maze from trial 1 to trial 5 with the instantaneous rate of change in completion time at trial 5.

Asystem of linear equations with more equations than unknowns is sometimes called an overdetermined system. can such a system be consistent? illustrate your answer with a specific system of three equations in two unknowns. choose the correct answer below. a. yes, overdetermined systems can be consistent. for example, the system of equations below is consistent because it has the solution nothing. (type an ordered pair.) x 1 equals 2 comma x 2 equals 4 comma x 1 plus x 2 equals 6 b. no, overdetermined systems cannot be consistent because there are fewer free variables than equations. for example, the system of equations below has no solution. x 1 equals 2 comma x 2 equals 4 comma x 1 plus x 2 equals 12 c. yes, overdetermined systems can be consistent. for example, the system of equations below is consistent because it has the solution nothing. (type an ordered pair.) x 1 equals 2 comma x 2 equals 4 comma x 1 plus x 2 equals 8 d. no, overdetermined systems cannot be consistent because there are no free variables. for example, the system of equations below has no solution. x 1 equals 2 comma x 2 equals 4 comma x 1 plus x 2 equals 24
