5. (a) y = y(t) = 40t − 16t2. At t = 2, y = 40(2) − 16(2)2 = 16. The average velocity between times 2 and 2 + h is

6. (a) y = y(t) = 10t − 186t2 . At t = 1, y = 10(1) − 186(1)2 = 814. The average velocity between times 1 and 1 + h is
(iii) [1 11]: h = 01, vave = 6094 m s (iv) [1 101]: h = 001, vave = 62614 m s
(b) Using the points (2 16) and (5 105) from the approximate
tangent line, the instantaneous velocity at t = 3 is about

(b) We see that problems with estimation are caused by the frequent
oscillations of the graph. The tangent is so steep at P that we need to
its slope.
(c) If we choose x = 1001, then the point is (1001 −00314) and mP Q ≈ −313794. If x = 0999, then is (0999
00314) and mP Q = −314422. The average of these slopes is −314108. So we estimate that the slope of the tangent
Such was the feeling of insecurity that the President elect was
followed to Washington by many watchful friends, while Gen’l Scott,
Col. Sumner, Major Hunter and the members of Buchanan’s Cabinet
quickly made such arrangements as secured his safety. Prior to his
inauguration he took every opportunity to quell the still rising
political excitement by assuring the Southern people of his kindly
feelings, and on the 27th of February,[17] “when waited upon by the
Mayor and Common Council of Washington, he assured them, and
through them the South, that he had no disposition to treat them in
any other way than as neighbors, and that he had no disposition to
withhold from them any constitutional right. He assured the people
that they would have all of their rights under the Constitution—‘not
grudgingly, but freely and fairly.’”
He was peacefully inaugurated on the 4th of March, and yet
Washington was crowded as never before by excited multitudes. The
writer himself witnessed the military arrangements of Gen’l Scott for
preserving the peace, and with armed cavalry lining every curb stone
on the line of march, it would have been difficult indeed to start or
continue a riot, though it was apparent that many in the throng were
ready to do it if occasion offered.
The inaugural ceremonies were more than usually impressive. On
the eastern front of the capitol, surrounded by such of the members
of the Senate and House who had not resigned their seats and
entered the Confederacy, the Diplomatic Corps, the Judges of the
Supreme Court, headed by Chief Justice Taney, the author of the
Dred Scott decision; the higher officers of Army and Navy, while
close by the side of the new President stood the retiring one—James
Buchanan—tall, dignified, reserved, and to the eye of the close
observer apparently deeply grieved at the part his party and position
had compelled him to play in a National drama which was now
reaching still another crisis. Near by, too, stood Douglas (holding
Lincoln’s hat) more gloomy than was his wont, but determined as he
had ever been. Next to the two Presidents he was most observed.
Sec. 8. That all persons in the naval service of the United States,
who have entered said service during the present rebellion, who have
not been credited to the quota of any town, district, ward, or State, by
reason of their being in said service and not enrolled prior to
February twenty-four, eighteen hundred and sixty-four, shall be
enrolled and credited to the quotas of the town, ward, district, or
State, in which they respectively reside, upon satisfactory proof of
their residence made to the Secretary of War.
