    We are given position function s (t) = 5t^2+6t+5.

    We need to find the instantaneous velocity at t=2.

    We know, the velocity is the rate of change of position over time.

    Rate of change of position function would give us velocity function v (t).

    Rate of change can be found by taking derivative of the position function.

    Taking derivarive of given position function, we get

    s' (t) = 10t+6.

    That resulted function is velocity function v (t).

    Therefore, v (t) = 10t + 6.

    In order to find instantaneous velocity at t=2, we need to plug t=2 in above velocity function.

    v (2) = 10*2+6 = 20+6

    v (2) = 26.

    Therefore, the instantaneous velocity when t=2 is 26.
