dude:

Displacement after 3s \(f(3)-f(0)\) \(f(3)=-(3)^3+6(3)^2-12(3)=-9\) \(f(0)=-(0)^3+6(0)^2-12(0)=0\) \(-9-0=-9m\)

AZ:

Good. And remember that Velocity = Displacement / Time

dude:

Mhm \(v(t)=-3t^2+12t-12\) Right?

AZ:

That is correct and \(a(t) = v'(t) = s''(t)\)

AZ:

For part C To find out when the direction changes s' = v(t) = 0 and solve for t

dude:

Speed is \(|v(t)|\) right?

AZ:

Yes

dude:

Average speed \(\dfrac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{-9}{3}=-3m\)

dude:

Speed at 0 \(|-3(0)^2+12(0)-12|=12\)

dude:

Speed at 3 \(||-3(3)^2+12(3)-12|=3\)

AZ:

\(\Delta d\) not \(\Delta s\) but yes that would be the average velocity for part A haha

dude:

I just used the variable for the s function and t time

dude:

Show me the letters papa

AZ:

oh oh, makes sense I was think of d for displacement

AZ:

The speed you calculated at t = 0, 3 are correct

dude:

Neat \(a(t)=-6t+12\) Acceleration at 0: \(a(0)=-6(0)+12=12m/s^2\) Acceleration at 3: \(a(3)=-6(3)+12=-6m/s^2\)

AZ:

Bravo

dude:

ty ty, I would love to thank AZ for the brain support

AZ:

yw yw, thank you for being the ideal question asker
