Instead of calling displacement "d", let's call it "x" to avoid confusion:
By the way, the "v" in this equation is velocity (as opposed to volume).
v = dx/dt
(velocity is the instantaneous change in displacement with respect to time)
So to get velocity from displacement, take the derivative of displacement with respect to time.
For x(t) = 4t + 5, taking the derivative with respect to time gives us:
dx/dt = 4
or v(t) = 4
This is NOT the same as v(t) = 2t2 + 4 so FALSE
