A particle's position is given by x = 6 − 9t + 1t2 (where t is in seconds and x is in meters).

1. What is its velocity at t = 1 s? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

-----m/s

2. What is its speed just then?

-----m/s

3. Is there ever an instant when the velocity is zero? If so, give the time t; if not, say NONE.
