The position of a certain particle depends on time according to the following equation (click to see). Find the general formula for the displacement for the time interval t to t+delta(t)

OpenStudy (babyslapmafro):

The position of a certain particle depends on time according to the following equation. \[x(t)=t^2-5.2t+1.2\]

OpenStudy (babyslapmafro):

Do I plug values into this equation? \[x _{f}-x _{i}=v _{0}t+.5at^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug in \[t + \delta t \] for t

OpenStudy (babyslapmafro):

everything else remains the same?

OpenStudy (babyslapmafro):

Ok my answer was \[\Delta x=v_0(t+\Delta t)+.5a(t+\Delta t)^2\] and my web-homework said it is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since you said u got that answer then u should subtract the displacement at time t from at t+(delta)t since u were told to calculate d displacement
