Homework Statement
The position of a particle moving along the x-axis depends on the time according to the equation x = c(t^5) - b(t^7), where x is in meters and t in seconds. Let c and b have numerical values 2.6 m/s5 and 1.3 m/s7, respectively. From t = 0.0 s to t = 1.8 s, (a) what is the displacement of the particle? Find its velocity at times (b) 1.0 s, (c) 2.0 s, (d) 3.0 s, and (e) 4.0 s. Find its acceleration at (f) 1.0 s, (g) 2.0 s, (h) 3.0 s, and (i) 4.0 s.
2. The attempt at a solution
Do I try to take the derivative to try and get the velocity and acceleration answers?
And how do I find the displacement?
