Answer:

Explanation:

Given that at time t, the position of a body moving along the​ s-axis is sequalsnegative t cubed plus 15 t squared minus 72 t m

i.e.
s(t) = -t^3+15t^2-72 t

Velocity is nothing but s'(t) = derivative of s

and acceleration is s"(t) = derivative of v(t)


v(t) = -3t^2+30t-72\\=-3(t^2-10t+24)\\= -3(t-6)(t-4)

a) v(t) =0 when t = 4 or 6

b)
a(t) = -6t+30

a(t) =0 when t =5

c) Distance travelled by the body from 0 to 5 would be


s(5)-s(0)\\= -5^3+15(5^2)-72(5)\\= -125+375-360\\=-110

i.e. 110 miles (distance cannot be negative)
