Question

A particle moves according to a law of motion s = f(t), t ≥ 0, where t is measured in seconds and s in feet. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) f(t) = t3 − 8t2 + 27t

Answer 1

The question is not clear, but it is possible to obtain distance, s, from the given function. This, I would show.

Answer:

s = 17 units

Explanation:

Given f(t) = t³ - 8t² + 27t

Differentiating f(t), we have

f'(t) = 3t² - 16 t + 27

At t = 0

f'(t) = 27

This is the required obtainaible distance, s.
