Step 1
Step 1: To find the average velocity for t = 2 to t = 4, we use the formula for average velocity: Average velocity = (s(4) - s(2)) / (4 - 2) Show more…

Use Formulas (2) and (3) to find the average and instantaneous velocity. A particle moves on a line away from its initial position so that after $t$ hours it is $s=3 t^{2}+t$ miles from its initial position. (a) Find the average velocity of the particle over the interval [1,3] (b) Find the instantaneous velocity at $t=1$
