The equation for instantaneous velocity at a time t is the first derivative of position.

Explanation:

I am assuming the question is asking about the general concept of velocity for any moving object, as opposed to for a specific situation.

If a function vecx(t) describes an object's position at any time t, then the velocity will be the first derivative of vecx(t) with respect to time:
vecv(t) = d/dt vecx(t)
