Answer: - 4


Explanation: 

As the question tells, the instantaneous velocity is the first derivative of the position.


1) position equation given: s(t) = 3 - 4t

2) derivative, v(t) = s'(t)

s'(t) = [ 3 - 4t]' = (3)' - (4t)' = 0 - 4(t') = - 4

3) Then, the velocity is constant (does not depends on t), and its value is - 4.

For this case, we have that the equation of the position is given by:
 s (t) = 3 - 4t

 To find the velocity, we must derive the equation from the position.
 We have then:
 s' (t) = - 4

 Then, we evaluate the derivative for time t = 8.
 We have then:
 s' (8) = - 4
 Answer:
 
the instantaneous velocity at t = 8 is:
 
s' (8) = - 4

What does this mean? Test the residuals of two other points to determine how well the line of best fit models the data.
kiruha [24]

A residual is a measure of how well a line fits an individual data point. Testing the two other points can really help to see how well the line fits.
