Answer

Distance: $20 \mathrm{m}$ Displacement: 12 $\mathrm{m}$

Work Step by Step

Displacement is an integral of the velocity evaluated over the given interval. \[ \text { Displacement }=\int_{0}^{6}(-4+2 t) d t=12 \mathrm{m} \] The distance traveled is the integral of the absolute value of the velocity evaluated over the given interval. \[ \begin{array}{l} \text { Distance }=\int_{0}^{6}|-4+2 t| d t \\ =-\int_{0}^{2}(-4+2 t) d t+\int_{2}^{6}(-4+2 t) d t \\ =20 \mathrm{m} \end{array} \]
