EX 7: Suppose that a ball is dropped from the upper observation deck of the CN Tower, 450 m above the ground.
(a) What is the velocity of the ball after 5 seconds?
(b) How fast is the ball traveling when it hits the ground?

EX 8: Temperature reading T (in degrees Celsius) were recorded every hour starting at midnight on a day in April
in Whitefish, Montana. The time x is measured in hours from midnight. The data are given in the table at the left.
(a) Find the average rate of change of temperature with respect to time
(i)
From noon to 3
(ii)
From noon to 2
(iii)
From noon to 1
(b) Estimate the instantaneous rate of change at noon.
