Answer

$$\left( {\bf{a}} \right)v\left( t \right) = 36t - 13,\,\,\,\,\left( {\bf{b}} \right)v\left( 0 \right) = - 13;\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,v\left( 5 \right) = 167;\,\,\,\,\,\,v\left( {10} \right) = 347$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{let }}s\left( t \right) = 18{t^2} - 13t + 8 \cr & \left( {\bf{a}} \right){\text{find the velocity using }}v\left( t \right) = s'\left( t \right).{\text{ then}}{\text{,}} \cr & v\left( t \right) = s'\left( t \right) = {D_t}\left( {18{t^2} - 13t + 8} \right) \cr & {\text{solve the derivatives using the power rule}} \cr & v\left( t \right) = 18\left( {2t} \right) - 13\left( 1 \right) + 0 \cr & v\left( t \right) = 36t - 13 \cr & \cr & \left( {\bf{b}} \right){\text{ evaluate the velocity }}v\left( t \right){\text{ at }}t = 0,{\text{ }}t = 5{\text{ and }}t = 10 \cr & v\left( 0 \right) = 36\left( 0 \right) - 13 = - 13 \cr & v\left( 5 \right) = 36\left( 5 \right) - 13 = 167 \cr & v\left( {10} \right) = 36\left( {10} \right) - 13 = 347 \cr} $$
