Answer:
Plug -1.8 into each x so the equation would become (-1.8)^2 - 3(-1.8)
Step-by-step explanation:
As the fellow above said, the particle does make a U-turn at the vertex, and we can find that out by getting the derivative of s(t) and zeroing it out to get the point of the horizontal tangent.
Bearing in mind that ds/dt is really v(t) or the velocity equation, so when we zero out the ds/dt, is the same as saying the velocity went to 0, since it got zeroed out, and then the particle goes over the vertex and changes direction.

the negative acceleration value, simply means a decreasing rate of change, so, it means the particle is slowing down and possibly coming to a stop before changing direction again.
46 meters in total i think
I am guessing there is half of each type of book, so there are 50/100 or 1/2 that are fiction
hope this helped
24000(total books) / 3000(batch of books with amount of errors known) = 8
8*3 = 24,
8*4 = 32
There will be between 24 and 32 printing errors.
