Answer

Distance between them when t=4 s: 152ft The total distance each has traveled in t = 4 s: Xa= 40ft Xb=192ft

Work Step by Step

\[ aA = 6t - 3 \quad aB = 12t^2 - 8 \] \[ \frac{dv}{dt} = 6t - 3 \quad \frac{dv}{dt} = 12t^2 - 8 \] \[ \int dv = \int 6t - 3 \, dt \quad \int dv = \int 12t^2 - 8 \, dt \] \[ VA = 3t^2 - 3t + 4 \quad VB = 4t^3 - 8t \] \[ \int dx = \int 3t^2 - 3t \, dt \quad X_B = t^4 - 4t^2 \] \[ X_A = \frac{3}{p}t^3 - \frac{3}{2}t^2 + 4 \] \[ X_{A|t=4} = 40 \, ft \quad X_{B|t=4} = 192 \, ft \] Distance between them = \[ 192 - 40 = 152 \, dt \]
