Need help for b, c and d please

A particle, whose position is measured in centimeters, is moving along the x -axis. For 0sts 5
seconds, the velocity of the particle is given by v(t) = -2 + (t² + 3t)š – t³.
a. What is the value of v(3.5)? Using correct units of measure, interpret this value in the context of
the movement of the particle, providing justification.
b. On the interval 1 st<3, find a value of t at which a(t) = 0. Is this a value that is guaranteed by
Rolle's Theorem for this interval? Give a reason why or why not.
c. Using correct units of measure, find the average acceleration of the particle on 1<t s 2.5.
d. Is the speed of the particle increasing or decreasing at t = 4? Give a reason for your answer.
