Question

The position of an object at time t is given by s(t) = 1 - 10t. Find the instantaneous velocity at t = 10 by finding the derivative.

Answer 1

Do you know how to find derivatives?

Answer 2

@Data_LG2 kind of.... i'm like really confused on the whole process

Answer 3

can you tell me the derivative of the function?
s(t) = 1 - 10t

Answer 4

-9????? @Data_LG2

Answer 5

i could be wrong..

Answer 6

nope

okay...
let's start from the basic

remember that the derivative of any real number is zero
for the function s(t) = 1 - 10t , one is a whole number..
next, the product rule \(f(x)=x^n\) -> \(f'(x)=nx^{n-1}\)
for the function you have -10 t , the derivative of this will be -10 only

therefore ,
\(s(t)=1-10t\) --> \(s'(t)=-10\)
now find \(s'(10)=?\)
it will be

Answer 7

just 10?

Answer 8

don't forget the negative :)
