Question

The position (in meters) of an object is given as a function of time by the equation:

 

                         x(t) = 2t^3 - 3t^2 +t-6                                     

 

 a.What is the initial position of the object (that is, at t=0) and What is the position after 3 seconds?

 

b.What is the average velocity of this object over the first 3 seconds? and   Write an equation for the instantaneous velocity of this object

 

 

 

 

 c.What is the initial velocity of this object (that is, at t=0) and What is the velocity of this object at 3 seconds? Also find the average acceleration for this object over the first three seconds?

Please answer it completetely.
