If you find the net area under the velocity curve (absolute value), then you end up with your distance traveled. To determine where the velocity curve may change from positive to negative, we need to know where velocity is zero. This would allow one to create two separate integrals to find...

1. The Problem The acceleration function for a particle is given as a(t)=60t+18. v(1)=5, find the distance traveled by the particle from t=0 to t=2 The Attempt at a Solution First, I integrated the acceleration function to get the velocity function, I found: v(t)=30t2+18t+c...
