Answer: The initial velocity is - 44

Step-by-step explanation:

S = [tex]\frac{-31}{2}[/tex][tex]t^{2}[/tex] - 44t + 85 .

Differentiating once to get the velocity , we have

V = - 31t - 44

The initial velocity means that t = 0 , substitute this into the equation , we have

V = -31 (0) - 44

V = -44

Therefore, the initial velocity is -44

Answer : The correct option is, The initial velocity is -44

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given the position function expression:

[tex]S=-\frac{31}{2}t^2-44t+85[/tex]

As we know that, differentiation of position function with respect to 't' gives velocity function.

[tex]\frac{dS}{dt}=\frac{d(-\frac{31}{2}t^2-44t+85)}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]v=-2\times \frac{31}{2}t-44[/tex]

[tex]v=-31t-44[/tex]

At time t = 0, the initial velocity will be:

[tex]v=-31(0)-44[/tex]

v = -44

Hence, the correct option is, The initial velocity is -44
