Problem

At t=4 st=4\text{ s}, Car P has position function p(t)p(t) with p′(4)=5 m/sp'(4)=5\text{ m/s}, and Car Q has position function q(t)q(t) with q′(4)=−3 m/sq'(4)=-3\text{ m/s}. Which statement is most consistent with this information? a) Car Q is moving faster because −3<5-3<5. b) Car P is moving forward faster than Car Q is moving backward. c) Both cars have the same speed because they are traveling in opposite directions. d) Car P has greater acceleration than Car Q because 5>−35>-3.
