A particle that moves along a straight line has velocity [tex]v(t)=t^2e^{-3t}[/tex] meters per second after t seconds. Find the distance the particle travels during the first t seconds.
________________meters (Your answer should be a function of [tex]t[/tex])
shouldnt i just integrate that velocity function? cause if you integrate velocity, you get distance right? well i did, but got the wrong answer. here's my answer:
[tex]-1/27*e^{-3t}(9t^2+6t+2)[/tex]
i also used math programs to integrate the problem just to make i didnt make any mistakes, but it still won't take my answer.
