So... CosU=U'Sin U

anonymous · Answer

take derivative

anonymous · Answer

-2Sin(2t+5) am I right so far:/

anonymous · Answer

The velocity is the derivative of the displacement:$$v(t) = s'(t) = 4(\cos(2t+5))' = -4\sin(2t + 5)(2t)' = -8\sin(2t+5).$$

anonymous · Answer

-4Sin(2t+5 )(2)
-8 Sin(2t+5)

Wow. I cant believe i didnt get it. You make it seem so easy :P
