Question

A particle moves according to a law of motion
s = f(t), t ≥ 0, where t is measured in seconds and s in feet. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) 

f(t) = t3 − 9t2 + 24t

a) When is the particle moving in the positive direction? (Enter your answer using interval notation.)

b) Find the acceleration (in ft/s2) at time t and after 1 second.

c) Answer using interval notation- when is the particle speeding up and slowing down?
