In an arcade video game, a spot is programmed to move across the screen according to \(x=9.00 t-0.750 t^{3}\), where x is distance in centimeters measured from the left edge of the screen and t is time in seconds. When the spot reaches a screen edge, at either x = 0 or x = 15.0 cm, t is reset to 0 and the spot starts moving again according to x(t).

(a) At what time after starting is the spot instantaneously at rest?

(b) At what value of x does this occur?

(c) What is the spot’s acceleration (including sign) when this occurs?

(d) Is it moving right or left just prior to coming to rest?
