Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 3 problem number 439 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A particle moves according to a law of motion , , where is measured in seconds and in feet. (a) Find the velocity at time . (b) What is the velocity after 3 s? (c) When is the particle at rest? (d) When is the particle moving in the positive direction? (e) Find the total distance traveled during the first 8 s. (f) Draw a diagram like Figure 2 to illustrate the motion of the particle. (g) Find the acceleration at time and after 3 s. ; (h) Graph the position, velocity, and acceleration functions for . (i) When is the particle speeding up? When is it slowing down?f!t"!t 3 !12t 1. 2 "36
From the textbook chapter DIFFERENTIATION RULES you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
