Instantaneous Velocity The velocity of moving object at a point during its motion can be determined using derivatives. Given the function of the velocity of an object to be f(x) = -x² + 6x – 2, where f is the velocity and x is the time in seconds. Find the instantaneous velocity of the object at the following instances: a. at the end of 1 second. b. at the end of 3 seconds. c. at the end of 5 seconds.
