A particle's position is given by x(t)=t3−6t2+9tx(t) = t^3 - 6t^2 + 9tx(t)=t3−6t2+9t. During what time interval is the particle moving to the right?

The temperature of a room is changing at a rate of T′(t)=2t−5T'(t) = 2t - 5T′(t)=2t−5 degrees Celsius per minute, where ttt is in minutes. What are the units of the derivative T′(t)T'(t)T′(t)?

Water is leaking from a tank at a rate of R(t)=50−t2R(t) = 50 - t^2R(t)=50−t2 liters per hour, where ttt is in hours and 0 \le t \le 5. How much water leaks out of the tank during the first 3 hours?

If the position of a particle is given by x(t)=t2+3t−5x(t) = t^2 + 3t - 5x(t)=t2+3t−5, what is the velocity of the particle at t=2t = 2t=2?

A particle moves along the x-axis with position given by x(t)=t3−6t2+5x(t) = t^3 - 6t^2 + 5x(t)=t3−6t2+5 for 0 \le t \le 5. What is the maximum speed of the particle on this interval?

The rate of change of the population of a town is modeled by the function P′(t)P'(t)P′(t), where ttt is measured in years. What does P′(5)=200P'(5) = 200P′(5)=200 mean?
