To get the distance, you have to integrate the speed (as opposed to velocity), which involves integrating the absolute value of the velocity function.

$\mathrm{distance} = \displaystyle\int_1^5 |\sin(t)| \,\mathrm dt$

By definition of absolute value,

$|\sin(t)|=\begin{cases}\sin(t)&\text{for }\sin(t)\ge0\\-\sin(t)&\text{for }\sin(t)$

Over this particular integration interval,

• sin(t ) ≥ 0 for 1 ≤ t < π, and

• sin(t ) < 0 for π < t ≤ 5

so you end up splitting the integral at t = π as

$\mathrm{distance} = \displaystyle\int_1^\pi \sin(t)\,\mathrm dt + \int_\pi^5 (-\sin(t))\,\mathrm dt$

Now compute the distance:

$\mathrm{distance} = -\cos(t)\bigg|_1^\pi + \cos(t)\bigg|_\pi^5$

$\mathrm{distance} = -(\cos(\pi) - \cos(1)) + (\cos(5) - \cos(\pi))$

$\mathrm{distance} = -2\cos(\pi) + \cos(1) + \cos(5) \approx 2.82$

making B the correct answer.

A car's velocity is modeled by

Igoryamba

In accordance with the function velocity, the car will have a complete stop after 6 seconds.

Herein we have a function of the velocity of a car (v), in feet per second, in terms of time (t), in seconds. The car stops for t > 0 and v = 0, then we have the following expression:

0.5 · t² - 10.5 · t + 45 = 0

t² - 21 · t + 90 = 0

By the quadratic formula we get the following two roots: t₁ = 15, t₂ = 6. The stopping time is the least root of the quadratic equation, that is, the car will have a complete stop after 6 seconds.
