HELP! MEDALS AWARDED! 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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

s'(t)=-3 s'(8)=-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@azbits so the derivative is -3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, The derivative of position which is what you are given is velocity. So at any time t doesnt matter what it is it would be -3

sounds good thank you
