put this solution on YOUR website!A ball is thrown into the air its velocity is 45ft/s its height in feet after t sec is given by 45t-19t^2. Find the instantaneous velocity when t=2
Step 1. Let height = h =

where velocity is 45 ft/s
Step 2. Derivative of h = velocity = 45 - 36t.
Step 3. Substitute t=2 into Step 2. velocity = 45 -36(2)= 45 - 72 = -27 ft/s
Step 4. Since velocity is negative it is heading down at 27 ft/s.
I hope the above steps were helpful.
And good luck in your studies!

------------------------------------------
If you are studying calculus, evaluate the derivative at t = 2.
---------------------
If h(t) = -19t^2+45t
then h'(t) = -38t+45
and h'(2) = -38(2)+45 = -76+45 = -31
