Math Problem Statement
An object moves along the x-axis so that its position at any time π΅ > 0 is given by x(π΅) = s(π΅). Find the velocity of the object as a function of π΅.
Solution
To find the velocity of the object as a function of , we need to compute the derivative of the position function with respect to time . The position function is given by:
Step 1: Differentiate the first term
Step 2: Differentiate the second term
Step 3: Combine the derivatives
The velocity function , which is the derivative of , is:
Thus, the velocity of the object as a function of is:
