PART D: THINKING & INQUIRY 8. The function s(t) = —3t2 + 12t + 8 models the position (in meters) of an object as a function of time (in seconds). a) Find the velocity and acceleration function. h) Determine the velocity of the object when t = 3 seconds c) What is the maximum height of the object? Graph the Function

Hi Sadah_17 (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1102243)

I'm away from my computer at the moment, so I will tell you what to do.

a) velocity function is the first derivative; acceleration function is the second derivative

b) Into the first derivative, sub t=3

c) You can do this the old fashion way by finding the vertex of the displacement function (s(t)). Since it's a quadratic, it should be easy to do

Does that help?
