Answer

$$ v(t)=s^{\prime}(t)=2t - \sin t , \quad s(0)=3 $$ The position of the particle is $$ s(t)=t^{2} + \cos t+2. $$

Work Step by Step

$$ v(t)=s^{\prime}(t)=2t - \sin t , \quad s(0)=3 $$ The general anti-derivative of $ s^{\prime}(t)=2t - \sin t $ is $$ s(t)=t^{2} + \cos t+C $$ To determine C we use the fact that $s(0)=3$: $$ s(0)=(0)^{2} + \cos (0)+C =3 $$ $ \Rightarrow $ $$ 1+C=3 \quad \Rightarrow \quad C=2, $$ so the position of the particle is $$ s(t)=t^{2} + \cos t+2. $$
