At 2:00 PM a car's speedometer reads 30 mi/h. At 2:15 PM it reads 50 mi/h. Show that at some time between 2:00 and 2:15 the acceleration is exactly 80 mi/h2.

Let v(t) be the velocity of the car t hours after 2:00 PM. Then v(1/4) - v(0)/1/4 - 0 = ??? By the Mean Value Theorem, there is a number c such that 0 < c < ??? with v'(c) = ??? . since... more
