Instantaneous Velocity

The position (in meters) of an object moving in a straight line is given by $s(t)=4t^2 + 3t + 14,$ where $t$ is measured in seconds. What is the equation of the instantaneous velocity $v(t)$ of the particle at time $t?$

v(t) = (8 t + 3) \text{ m/s}

v(t) = (8 t + 4) \text{ m/s}

v(t) = (8 t + 14) \text{ m/s}

v(t) = (3 t + 14) \text{ m/s}

The position (in meters) of an object moving in a straight line is given by $s(t)=5t^3 + 12t^2 + 5t + 17,$ where time $t$ is measured in seconds. What is the equation of the instantaneous velocity $v(t)$ of the particle at time $t?$

v(t) = (15 t^2 + 12 t + 5) \text{ m/s}

v(t) = (10 t^2 + 24 t + 5) \text{ m/s}

v(t) = (15 t^2 + 24 t + 5) \text{ m/s}

v(t) = (15 t^2 + 12 t + 17) \text{ m/s}
