b. What is the instantaneous velocity at t = 2?
c. What is the instantaneous acceleration at any time t?

2. The position of a particle is given by the equation s = f(t) = t 3 − 6t 2 + 9t where t is measured in


seconds and s in meters.
a. Find the velocity at time t.
b. What is the velocity after 2s? 4s?
c. When is the particle at rest?
d. When is the particle moving forward?
