Question 9


9. (no calculator) Winnie is running the 3200 meter race at the German Olympics Trials.  He is confused as to which direction to run and accidentally runs the whole race backwards.  His velocity is modeled by the function v(t)=-t2 where distance is measured in meters and time in minutes.  What is his speed 10 minutes into the race?

a) 100 m/min
b) -100 m/min
c) 20 m/min
d) -20 m/min
