To   calculate   the     distance    traveled    during  the     hour,   we  use     the     methods

demonstrated     in  Example     28.     We  know    that,   since   is  the

distance    covered from    time    a   to  time    b,  where   v(t)    is  the speed   or  velocity.

Thus,

It is left to the student to complete the missing steps above and to verify the
distances in the following table (t = time in minutes, s = distance in miles):

Figure N6–12b is one possible graph for the distance covered during the hour.
