Question
A particle moves back and forth along the x-axis. Figure 6.12 approximates the velocity of the particle as a function of time. Positive velocities represent movement to the right and negative velocities represent movement to the left. The particle starts at the point x = 5. Graph the distance of the particle from the origin, with distance measured in kilometers and time in hours.
Solution
The first step in solving 6.1 problem number 15 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A particle moves back and forth along the x-axis. Figure 6.12 approximates the velocity of the particle as a function of time. Positive velocities represent movement to the right and negative velocities represent movement to the left. The particle starts at the point x = 5. Graph the distance of the particle from the origin, with distance measured in kilometers and time in hours.
From the textbook chapter ANTIDERIVATIVES GRAPHICALLY AND NUMERICALLY you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
