The acceleration of the particle is given by the formula mentioned below:
Differentiate the position vector with respect to t.
![\begin{gathered} \frac{ds(t)}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\sqrt[]{\mleft(t^3+1\mright)} \\ =-\frac{1}{2}(t^3+1)^{-\frac{1}{2}}\times3t^2 \\ =\frac{3}{2}\frac{t^2}{\sqrt{(t^3+1)}} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20%5Cfrac%7Bds%28t%29%7D%7Bdt%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7Bd%7D%7Bdt%7D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%5Cmleft%28t%5E3%2B1%5Cmright%29%7D%20%5C%5C%20%3D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%28t%5E3%2B1%29%5E%7B-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%7D%5Ctimes3t%5E2%20%5C%5C%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%5Cfrac%7Bt%5E2%7D%7B%5Csqrt%7B%28t%5E3%2B1%29%7D%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
Differentiate both sides of the obtained equation with respect to t.

Substitute t=2 in the above equation to obtain the acceleration of the particle at 2 seconds.

The initial position is obtained at t=0. Substitute t=0 in the given position function.
I believe option 3 is the correct answer! Multiply the (days) by 37.5!
He is wrong. You first need to put it in order before getting the middle. Like so:
22, 36, 48, 60, 84
Now cross out 22, then 84, and so on till you're left with one number (the middle number)
THE ANSWER IS 48
The first choice is right, area of 1 is 20, area of 2 is 16
We analyze the chart and observe that the linear function is
, since this relation holds for all values in the table. Drawing this line over the quadratic function shows that they intersect
twice, at
both the positive and negative x-coordinates.This is by far the easiest way to solve this problem, but if you're interested in learning how to do it algebraically, read on! To prove this more rigorously, we can find that the equation of the parabola is
Substituting in
, we find that
the intersection points occur where 
, or
or
This equation doesn't factor nicely, so we use the
quadratic formula to learn that
Hence, the x-coordinates of the intersection points are
, which is
positive, and
, which is
negative. This proves that there are intersection points on both ends of the axis.
