It looks like the particle's acceleration is

a(t) = 3t²

and we're given the initial velocity and position to be v(1) = 2 and x(1) = 6.

(a) By the fundamental theorem of calculus, the velocity at time t is

v(t) = v(1) + ∫₁ᵗ a(u) du

v(t) = 2 + ∫₁ᵗ 3u² du

v(t) = 2 + u³ |₁ᵗ

v(t) = 2 + (t³ - 1³)

v(t) = t³ + 1

(b) Use the theorem again to get the position at time t,

x(t) = x(1) + ∫₁ᵗ v(u) du

x(t) = 6 + ∫₁ᵗ (u³ + 1) du

x(t) = 6 + (1/4 u⁴ + u) |₁ᵗ

x(t) = 6 + (1/4 t⁴ + t - 1/4 • 1⁴ - 1)

x(t) = 1/4 t⁴ + t + 19/4

(c) The position of the particle at t = e is

x(e) = 1/4 e⁴ + e + 19/4

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15
