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

proportions are fractions that equal to each other. so if two fractions are the same, they are proportional.

let's check the answers to see if they are proportional.

question a is not proportional because you can't turn 1.5/3 to 3/9. if you try to multiply 1.5/3 by 2 or 3, you wont get 3/9. it's impossible to make the fractions the same.

question b is not proportional because you can't turn 22/33 to 4/6. 33 can't go into 6.

question c is proportional because when you multiply 2 and 3 by 71, you would get 142/213, and those fractions equal to each other

question d is proportional because when you divide 14 and 7 by 2, you would end up with 7/3.5, and those fractions equal to each other.
