go! your answer

?

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

do you have an approach?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I have to derive this

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\(\large\rm a(t)=s''(t)\) Yes. And they want you to find \(\large\rm a(2)\)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\(\large\rm s'(t)=?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It equals 3t^2/2√(t^3+1)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Good :)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Oo looks like you'll need `quotient rule` to achieve that second derivative, ya? :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yesss and I got 3t(t^3+4)/4(t^3+1)^(3/2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So would I just plug 2 into that?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Hmm I got something very similar, but a (t^3+1)^(5/2) in the bottom. Lemme make sure I didn't make a boo boo somewhere.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Woops :) Ya I did. Looks like you are correct! Yes, proceed to plug in t=2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And then I got 2/3

zepdrix (zepdrix):

yayyy good job \c:/

zepdrix (zepdrix):

and the units are going to be ft/sec^2 in case you need that as well.

Okay thank you so much!
