1. A particle moves along a straight line such that its acceleration is a=(4t²-2) m/s², where the variable t is the time measured in seconds. The initial position of the particle is 2m to the left of the origin. After 2 seconds, it's position is 20m to the left of the origin. Determine its position at t=4s.
