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

x + 4/7
