Explain average velocity and average speed.

Consider a particle moving along a straight line, whose position as a function of time is given by $s(t) = \alpha t^2 - \beta t + \gamma$, where $\alpha = 1 \text{ ms}^{-2}$, $\beta = 6 \text{ ms}^{-1}$ and $\gamma = 5 \text{ m}$. The average speed of the particle, in $\text{ms}^{-1}$, from $t = 0$ to $t = 6 \text{ s}$ is :
