Question

The position of a particle is given by the hourly equation:
x=t³-t²+3t-7, in meters. Determine
demonstrating his reasoning:
a) Your average speed between instants t = 0
and t = 3.0 s;
b) Its average acceleration between the moments t =1.5 s and t = 2.5 s;
c) Its instantaneous acceleration at instant t =2.0 s;
d) In which instant(s) the particle inverts the
direction of movement? If there is no
this(s) instant(s), prove it.
