!Step 1: &nbsp;
 
|-
 
|To find the position of the object at &nbsp;<math>t=\frac{\pi}{8},</math>
 
|-
 
|we need to plug &nbsp;<math>t=\frac{\pi}{8}</math>&nbsp; into the equation &nbsp;<math style="vertical-align: -5px">y.</math>

|Thus, we have
 
|-
 
|&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <math>\begin{array}{rcl}
 
\displaystyle{y\bigg(\frac{\pi}{8}\bigg)} & = & \displaystyle{\frac{1}{3}\cos\bigg(\frac{12\pi}{8}\bigg)-\frac{1}{4}\sin\bigg(\frac{12\pi}{8}\bigg)}\\
 
&&\\
 
& = & \displaystyle{\frac{1}{3}\cos\bigg(\frac{3\pi}{2}\bigg)-\frac{1}{4}\sin\bigg(\frac{3\pi}{2}\bigg)}\\
 
&&\\
 
& = & \displaystyle{0-\frac{1}{4}(-1)}\\
 
&&\\
 
&= & \displaystyle{\frac{1}{4} \text{ foot}.}
 
\end{array}</math>

{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style = "text-align:left;"
 
!Step 2: &nbsp;
 
|-
 
|Now, to find the velocity function, we need to take the derivative of the position function.
 
|-
 
|Thus, we have
 
|-
 
|&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <math>\begin{array}{rcl}
 
\displaystyle{v(t)} & = & \displaystyle{y'}\\
 
&&\\
 
& = & \displaystyle{\frac{-1}{3}\sin(12t)(12)-\frac{1}{4}\cos(12t)(12)}\\
 
&&\\
 
& = & \displaystyle{-4\sin(12t)-3\cos(12t).}

|-
 
|Therefore, the velocity of the object at time &nbsp;<math>t=\frac{\pi}{8}</math>&nbsp; is
 
|-
 
|&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <math>\begin{array}{rcl}
 
\displaystyle{v\bigg(\frac{\pi}{8}\bigg)} & = & \displaystyle{-4\sin\bigg(\frac{3\pi}{2}\bigg)-3\cos\bigg(\frac{3\pi}{2}\bigg)}\\

& = & \displaystyle{-4(-1)+0}\\
