4q
<span>We can
write the verbal expression of this algebraic or mathematical expression as simple
as four times a number. Since the unknown variable here is “q” and it is not
specified it doesn’t mean a specific letter q but just a representation of an
absent and unknown value of a number. Hence, these variables have a automated
value of 1 hence, q = 1 but unless the value of this variable is changed in
finding or filling this unknown it remains with the constant of 1.</span>
The ball's velocity will be represented by the derivative of its distance function:

Now find the times

for which this is equal to 30, i.e. solve

This has two solutions,

, but only one is positive and falls in the interval
![[0,3]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B0%2C3%5D)
. So the velocity reaches 30 cm/s when

.
