A particle moves along the x-axis so that it’s position at any time t≥0 is given by x(t)=t^3−3t^2+t+1.  For what values of t, 0≤t≤3, is the particle’s instantaneous velocity the same as its average velocity on the closed interval [0, 3]?  Your solution should clearly show all steps leading to the answer as well as justification for it.
