$s = 14 + 64 t - 16 t^{2}$

Step 1

Differentiate both sides of the equation.

$\frac{d}{d t} (s) = \frac{d}{d t} (14 + 64 t - 16 t^{2})$

Step 2

Since $s$ is constant with respect to $t$ , the derivative of $s$ with respect to $t$ is $0$ .

Step 3.1.1

By the Sum Rule, the derivative of $14 + 64 t - 16 t^{2}$ with respect to $t$ is $\frac{d}{d t} [14] + \frac{d}{d t} [64 t] + \frac{d}{d t} [- 16 t^{2}]$ .

$\frac{d}{d t} [14] + \frac{d}{d t} [64 t] + \frac{d}{d t} [- 16 t^{2}]$

Step 3.1.2

Since $14$ is constant with respect to $t$ , the derivative of $14$ with respect to $t$ is $0$ .

$0 + \frac{d}{d t} [64 t] + \frac{d}{d t} [- 16 t^{2}]$

Step 3.2.1

Since $64$ is constant with respect to $t$ , the derivative of $64 t$ with respect to $t$ is $64 \frac{d}{d t} [t]$ .

$0 + 64 \frac{d}{d t} [t] + \frac{d}{d t} [- 16 t^{2}]$

Step 3.2.2

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d t} [t^{n}]$ is $n t^{n - 1}$ where $n = 1$ .

$0 + 64 \cdot 1 + \frac{d}{d t} [- 16 t^{2}]$

Step 3.2.3

Multiply $64$ by $1$ .

$0 + 64 + \frac{d}{d t} [- 16 t^{2}]$

Step 3.3.1

Since $- 16$ is constant with respect to $t$ , the derivative of $- 16 t^{2}$ with respect to $t$ is $- 16 \frac{d}{d t} [t^{2}]$ .

$0 + 64 - 16 \frac{d}{d t} [t^{2}]$

Step 3.3.2

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d t} [t^{n}]$ is $n t^{n - 1}$ where $n = 2$ .

$0 + 64 - 16 (2 t)$

Step 3.3.3

Multiply $2$ by $- 16$ .
