Chapter 2, Problem 6

(choose chapter or problem)

A skydiver jumps from an airplane. Suppose that the distance she falls during the first \(t\) seconds before her parachute opens is \(s(t)=976\left((0.835)^{t}-1\right)+176 t\), where \(s\)  is in feet. Graph \(s\) versus \(t\) for \(0 \leq t \leq 20\), and use your graph to estimate the instantaneous velocity at \(t=15\).
