Question regarding the instantaneous velocity


The displacement (in meters) of a particle moving in a straight line is given by s = t2 - 8t + 18, where is measured in seconds.

(a) Find the average velocity over each time interval:

(i) [3, 4]

(ii) [3. 5, 4]

(iii) [4, 5]

(iv) [4, 4, 5]

(b) Find the instantaneous velocity when t = 4.

(c) Draw the graph of as a function of and draw the secant lines whose slopes are the average velocities in part (a) and the tangent line whose slope is the instantaneous velocity in part (b).
