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.

Hello! There are a few ways to find the derivative. One famous formula is below:

Note, t = x = 8

To find the derivative of s(t) = -9 - 3t let insert it into our formula:

Insert x = 8

So when t = 8 the instantaneous velocity = -3

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.

step-by-step explanation: just trying to get points sorry : (

so far i think you have the right thing going for you just remember soh cah toh
