alleryKnowing an object's velocity, a student recovers its position by finding an:
AAngle measure
BAntiderivative
CAverage value
DAsymptote line
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Antiderivative
1. Velocity is the derivative of position.
2. Going back the other way undoes that derivative.
3. So the position function is an antiderivative of velocity.
