Question

The displacement (in meters) of a particle moving in a straight line is given by the equation of motion  where  s=4t^3+6t+2  is measured in seconds. Find the velocity of the particle at times:

t=a. (b) t=1. (c) t=2. (d) t=3

Answer 1

Take the derivative of the function to find s'

I'm not sure if you've learned the power rule or if you're using the limit of the difference quotient. If you'd like to discuss this, feel free to contact me.

In this case, s' is the velocity,. Just plug in the t values into s' to get the answers. Note that you don't get a number answer for problem t = a
