### Problem Statement

A particle moves according to a law of motion \( s = f(t) = t^3 - 15t^2 + 72t \), where \( t \geq 0 \), \( t \) is measured in seconds, and \( s \) is in feet. 

### Questions and Solutions

#### (a) Find the velocity at time \( t \).

**Solution**:  
\[ v(t) = 3t^2 - 30t + 72 \quad \text{ft/s} \]
*(Correct)*

#### (b) What is the velocity after 5 seconds?

**Solution**:  
\[ v(5) = -3 \quad \text{ft/s} \]
*(Correct)*

#### (c) When is the particle at rest?

**Solution**:  
\[ t = 4 \quad s \quad \text{(smaller value)} \]  
\[ t = 6 \quad s \quad \text{(larger value)} \]
*(Correct)*

#### (d) When is the particle moving in the positive direction? 

**Response Required**: 
\[
( \, \underline{\hspace{2cm}} \, , \, \underline{\hspace{2cm}} \, ) \cup ( \, \underline{\hspace{2cm}} \, , \, \underline{\hspace{2cm}} \, )
\]
*(Incorrect)*

#### (e) Find the total distance traveled during the first 9 seconds.

**Response Required**:  
\[ \underline{\hspace{4cm}} \quad \text{feet} \]
*(Incorrect)*

#### (f) Draw a diagram to illustrate the motion of the particle.

**Instruction**: Do this on paper. Your instructor may ask you to turn in this graph.

#### (g) Find the acceleration at time \( t \) and after 5 seconds.

**Response Required**:  
\[ a(t) = \underline{\hspace{4cm}} \]  
\[ a(5) = \underline{\hspace{4cm}} \quad \text{ft/s}^2 \]
*(Incorrect)*

#### (h) Graph the position, velocity, and acceleration functions for \( 0 \leq t \leq 9 \). 

**Instruction**: Do this on paper. Your
