The position of an object at time t is given by s(t) = -9 - 3t. Find the instantaneous velocity at t = 8 by finding the derivative. I think its either -3 or -36

Given:

Relation between position of an object at time t is given by:

s(t) = -9 - 3t

To Find:

Instantaneous velocity (v) at t = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find instantaneous velocity we will differentiate relation between position of an object at time t by t:

Differentiate the sum term by term and factor out constants:

The derivative of -9 is zero:

Simplify the expression:

The derivative of t is 1:

Simplify the expression:

(As, there is no variable after differentiating the relation between position of an object at time t by t so at time t = 8 is of no use.)

So,

Instantaneous velocity (v) at t = 8 is -3

54 km / hours

step-by-step explanation:

we need to convert seconds to hours

60 seconds = 1 minutes

60 minutes = 1hour

15 m         60 second   60 minutes

  * *         = 54000 meters/ hour

second     1 minute             1 hour

now we need to convert meters to km

1000 m = 1 km

54000 m       1 km

*   = 54 km / hours

hour               1000m
