Question

A particle moves along the x-axis. The function x(t) gives the particle’s position at any time t ≥ 0: x(t) = t3-4t2+3t-2 a) What is the particle’s velocity v(t) at t=3s? b) What is the particle’s acceleration a(t) at t=3s? What is the direction of the particle’s motion at t=2s? at t=3s, is the particle’s speed increasing, decreasing, or neither?

A particle moves along the x-axis. The function x(t) gives the particle's
position at any time t> 0: x(t) = t3-4t2+3t-2 a) What is the particle's
velocity v(t) at t=3s? b) What is the particle's acceleration a(t) at t=3s?
What is the direction of the particle's motion at t=2s? at t=3s, is the
particle's speed increasing, decreasing, or neither?
x(t) = t3-4t2+3t-2
