Using integrals, it is found that the particle travels 21.25 units between t = 0 and t = 5.

<h3>How is the total distance traveled calculated?</h3>
  • The <em>total distance traveled</em> by a particle modeled by an equation of position s(t) between t = a and t = b is given by:

D = \int_{a}^{b} s(t) dt

In this problem, the equation that models the position of the particle is:

s(t) = t^3 - 3t^2 - 2

Hence, applying integral properties, then the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, we have that the distance traveled is of:

D = \int_{a}^{b} s(t) dt

D = \int_{0}^{5} (t^3 - 3t^2 - 2) dt

D = \frac{t^4}{4} - t^3 - 2t|_{t = 0}^{t = 5}

D = \left(\frac{5^4}{4} - 5^3 - 2(5)\right) - \left(\frac{0^4}{4} - 0^3 - 2(0)\right)

D = 21.25

The particle travels 21.25 units between t = 0 and t = 5.

Answer:

Because to get a straight line you need a scale. Otherwise you will not be able to graph a straight line.

Hope this helps:)
