Answer:

the derivative with respect to time

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an exercise in kinematics, where the velocity is defined as a function of the position of a body of the form

v = dx/dt

where v is the velocity of the body, x is the position that we assume is a continuous and differentiable function.

The function written in the equation is the derivative with respect to time
