  1. Hey, you try first. You are supposed to know how to take the derivative of a polynomial.
    if y = a x^n
    then dy/dx = n a x^(n-1)

    and the derivative of a constant is therefore 0
    because if
    y = a x^0
    dy/dx = a * 0 * x^-1 = 0
    so if
    v = -t^2+15
    then
    a = dv/dt = -2 t + 0
    and at t = 5
    a = -2(5) = -10
    if dv/dt is negative and v is positive, it is slowing.
