Answer

We can estimate the values of $H'$: $t = 14: H'(t) = \frac{13}{7}$ $t = 21: H'(t) = \frac{23}{14}$ $t = 28: H'(t) = \frac{9}{7}$ $t = 35: H'(t) = 1$ $t = 42: H'(t) = \frac{11}{14}$ $t = 49: H'(t) = \frac{5}{7}$ We can use the estimates of $H'(t)$ to sketch the graph of $H'(t)$

Work Step by Step

We can estimate the values of $H'$: $t = 14: H'(t) = \frac{54-41}{7} = \frac{13}{7}$ $t = 21: H'(t) = \frac{64-41}{14} = \frac{23}{14}$ $t = 28: H'(t) = \frac{72-54}{14} = \frac{9}{7}$ $t = 35: H'(t) = \frac{78-64}{14} = 1$ $t = 42: H'(t) = \frac{83-72}{14} = \frac{11}{14}$ $t = 49: H'(t) = \frac{83-78}{7} = \frac{5}{7}$ We can use the estimates of $H'(t)$ to sketch the graph of $H'(t)$
