Question

A particle moves along the x-axis so that its velocity at time  t, for  0 6, ≤ ≤t is given by a differentiable 
function  v whose graph is shown above. The velocity is 0 at t = 0, t = 3, and t = 5, and the graph has 
horizontal tangents at t = 1 and t = 4. The areas of the regions bounded by the t-axis and the graph of  v on 
the intervals [0, 3 ,   ] [3, 5 ,  and  ] [5, 6  are 8, 3, and 2, respectively. At time 0, ] t = the particle is at 2. x = −
(a)  For 0 6, ≤ ≤t find both the time and the position of the particle when the particle is farthest to the left.
