What's the derivative of $$t^3 - 5t^2$$?

please roast me I'm new to Calculus

$$t^3 - 5t^2$$

I said $$3t^2 - 10t$$

The derivative of a sum of terms is the sum of the terms' derivatives

You're right

[tiny fog]

so at x = 5 the slope is 25 right? unless I can't do simple math

here is the original problem

Have some confidence in yourself

ahhh $s'(t)=3t^2-10t$

The slope is exactly
3t^2 - 10t for t=5

Yes, that's the link between derivative and slope

[tranquil wyvern]

Of tangent

I was jumping ahead lol

thank you
