- can you explain why the answer is 1/3arrow_forwardThe position of a particle that moves along the x-axis is defined by x = - 3t^2 + 12^t - 6 f, where t is in seconds. For the time interval t = 0 to t = 3 s, (1) plot the position, velocity, and acceleration as functions of time; (2) calculate the distance traveled; and (3) determine the displacement of the particleshow the graph and write the solution with a penarrow_forwardThe position of a particle that moves along the x-axis is defined by x = - 3t^2 + 12^t - 6 f, where t is in seconds.
