Given the position function s(t)=t3+3t2−45ts\left(t\right)=t^3+3t^2-45t  , determine if the particle is speeding up or slowing down at t=2.

Speeding up b/c v(2) and a(2) have the same signs

Speeding up b/c v(2) and a(2) have the opposite signs

Slowing down up b/c v(2) and a(2) have the same signs

Slowing down b/c v(2) and a(2) have opposite signs signs
