Question

This question came up on my homework and I am having a lot of trouble with it. I know how to answer the first part (part a) through antidifferentiation but after that the two parts b and c are very unfamiliar and I have no idea where to start. Any tips?

The velocity at time t of an object moving along an axis is t^3 − 3t. (a) Compute the net displacement between t = 0 and t = 3. (b) During what time intervals was it moving forward (resp. backward)? (c) What was its total distance traveled?
