The position of a particle moving along a line is given by

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

\[s(t)=2t^3-24t^2+90t+7\]

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

for what values t is the speed of particle increasing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[s'(t) \implies velocity \space \space s''(t) \implies acceleration\]

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

ya i got a(t)=0 i got 4

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

as critical point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ds/dt=6t^2-48t+90 thus d^2s/dt^2=12t-48 => aceleration is greater than zero when t>4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well first get the turning point, you mean s'(t)=0

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

no i mean s''(t) gives acceleration =0 will give us information about velocity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so you got 4 right

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So yea it is when t>4 that the acceleration is postivei .e. speed increases

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

no that not the answer i am looking for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well its the right one...

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

but the answer is 3<t<4 and t>5 ( i was shocked !!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it possible that this is wrong?

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

@hartnn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1360515901447:dw| graph increasing the speed inceases when the grapg rises so x<a and x>b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay well 3 and 5 are the critical points of the velocity
