object is moving in space according to s(t)=(t^4)-t where t is in seconds and s(t) is in feet. find the instaneous velocity at t = 2 feet.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is called derivative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

velocity is derivative of position function they gave you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The instantaneous velocity at \(t=2\) feet is the derivative (rate of change) of \(s(t)\) when \(t=2\). Basically, find the derivative \(s'(t)\) and plug in \(t=2\) to find \(s'(2)\).
