s(t)=t+530, −4≤t≤0
A
Average: vavg=−6sm, Instantaneous: v(0)=0
B
Average: vavg=−6sm, Instantaneous: v(0)=30sm
C
Average: vavg=6sm , Instantaneous: v(0)=18sm
D
Average: vavg=−6sm, Instantaneous: v(0)=−1.2sm

To find the average velocity over the interval [-4, 0], use the formula for average velocity: \( v_{avg} = \frac{s(t_2) - s(t_1)}{t_2 - t_1} \), where \( t_1 = -4 \) and \( t_2 = 0 \).
Calculate \( s(-4) \) using the position function \( s(t) = \frac{30}{t+5} \). Substitute \( t = -4 \) into the equation to find \( s(-4) \).
Calculate \( s(0) \) using the same position function. Substitute \( t = 0 \) into the equation to find \( s(0) \).
Substitute \( s(-4) \) and \( s(0) \) into the average velocity formula to find \( v_{avg} \).
To find the instantaneous velocity at \( t = 0 \), calculate the derivative of the position function \( s(t) = \frac{30}{t+5} \) to get \( v(t) \). Then, evaluate \( v(0) \) by substituting \( t = 0 \) into the derivative.
