|&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)}\\

!Step 2: &nbsp;
 
|-
 
|Now, to find the velocity function, we need to take the derivative of the position function.

\displaystyle{v(t)} & = & \displaystyle{y'}\\
