Expert Solution
Step 1

6The velocity of a car is given by :

v(t)=t2+2t

here, v(t) is measured in ft/sec and t is measured in sec.

a To determine the distance travelled from t=1to t=4 using 3 subdivisions,

14v(t)=12t2+2tdt +23t2+2t dt+34t2+2t dt=t33+2t2212 +t33+2t2223 +t33+2t2234=233+22-133+12 +333+32-233+22 +433+42-333+32=83+4-13+1+9+9-83+4+643+16-9+9=203-43+18-203+1123-18=163+343+583=1083=36 ft.
