![The graph shows the position s = f(t) of a car t hours after 5:00 P.M. relative
to its starting point s = 0, where s is measured in miles.
(a) Describe the velocity of the car. Specifically, when is it speeding up and
when is it slowing down?
(b) At approximately what time is the car traveling the fastest? The slowest?
(c) What is the approximate maximum velocity of the car? The approximate
minimum velocity?
V it can swing UWII!
(b) The car is traveling the fastest at t = hour(s).

Expert Solution
Step 1
The slope at any point in the position-time graph represents the instantaneous velocity of the object under observation in this situation a car.
also represents the is the angle that the tangent to the curve at that point makes with the x-axis.
Therefore, the more the value, the more will be instantaneous velocity at that point.
