Hello!
Here we are given a composite shape, meaning that we can divide this shape up into ways that we are given formulas to solve for legs and such.
I can see here that this can be divided into a triangle and a rectangle using a horizontal line.
The leg lengths of this triangle would be 9, because it is congruent to the bottom side of the rectangle, and 7, because it is the left side minus the right side.
This would also make a right triangle, meaning we could solve for the hypotenuse utilizing the Pythagorean Theorem.
Which is in simplest radical form.
Hope this helps!
(a) If the particle's position (measured with some unit) at time <em>t</em> is given by <em>s(t)</em>, where
then the velocity at time <em>t</em>, <em>v(t)</em>, is given by the derivative of <em>s(t)</em>,
(b) The velocity after 3 seconds is
(c) The particle is at rest when its velocity is zero:
(d) The particle is moving in the positive direction when its position is increasing, or equivalently when its velocity is positive:
In interval notation, this happens for <em>t</em> in the interval (0, √11) or approximately (0, 3.317) s.
(e) The total distance traveled is given by the definite integral,
By definition of absolute value, we have
In part (d), we've shown that <em>v(t)</em> > 0 when -√11 < <em>t</em> < √11, so we split up the integral at <em>t</em> = √11 as
and by the fundamental theorem of calculus, since we know <em>v(t)</em> is the derivative of <em>s(t)</em>, this reduces to
