The position function of a particle is given by:

The velocity function is the derivative of the position:

The particle will be at rest when the velocity is 0, thus we solve the equation:

The coefficients of this equation are: a = 2, b = -9, c = -18
Solve by using the formula:
![t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t%3D%5Cfrac%7B-b%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bb%5E2-4ac%7D%7D%7B2a%7D)
Substituting:
![\begin{gathered} t=\frac{9\pm\sqrt[]{81-4(2)(-18)}}{2(2)} \\ t=\frac{9\pm\sqrt[]{81+144}}{4} \\ t=\frac{9\pm\sqrt[]{225}}{4} \\ t=\frac{9\pm15}{4} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20t%3D%5Cfrac%7B9%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B81-4%282%29%28-18%29%7D%7D%7B2%282%29%7D%20%5C%5C%20t%3D%5Cfrac%7B9%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B81%2B144%7D%7D%7B4%7D%20%5C%5C%20t%3D%5Cfrac%7B9%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B225%7D%7D%7B4%7D%20%5C%5C%20t%3D%5Cfrac%7B9%5Cpm15%7D%7B4%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
We have two possible answers:

We only accept the positive answer because the time cannot be negative.
Now calculate the position for t = 6:
Sammy is the tallest one because he is 4.667 feet tall
The price dropped by forty two dollars. We can work this out by simply
multiplying six, the number that we know the jeans were reduced by each
week, by seven, the number of weeks that the jeans continued to reduce
in price for. Six times seven is of course forty two.
Answer:
2,620.

thats the answer. have a nice day!
