Given the position of the particle, what the position(s) of the particle when it’s at rest

The position function of a particle is given by:

X\mleft(t\mright)=\frac{2}{3}t^3-\frac{9}{2}t^2-18t

The velocity function is the derivative of the position:

\begin{gathered} V(t)=\frac{2}{3}(3t^2)-\frac{9}{2}(2t)-18 \\ \text{Simplifying:} \\ V(t)=2t^2-9t-18 \end{gathered}

The particle will be at rest when the velocity is 0, thus we solve the equation:

2t^2-9t-18=0

The coefficients of this equation are: a = 2, b = -9, c = -18

Solve by using the formula:

t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Substituting:

\begin{gathered} t=\frac{9\pm\sqrt[]{81-4(2)(-18)}}{2(2)} \\ t=\frac{9\pm\sqrt[]{81+144}}{4} \\ t=\frac{9\pm\sqrt[]{225}}{4} \\ t=\frac{9\pm15}{4} \end{gathered}

We have two possible answers:

\begin{gathered} t=\frac{9+15}{4}=6 \\ t=\frac{9-15}{4}=-\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}

We only accept the positive answer because the time cannot be negative.

Now calculate the position for t = 6:

What is x to the power of 3 divided by x to the power of -5
Veseljchak [2.6K]
X to the power of 8
When dividing powers, you subtract the "small numbers". When multiplying, you add them. 3-(-5) = 8

Hope it helps!
