Answer

$$ a(t)=5t^{2}+4,\quad \quad [V(0)=6] $$ The velocity is given by: $$ V(t) =\frac{5t^{3}}{3}+4t+6. $$

Work Step by Step

$$ a(t)=5t^{2}+4,\quad \quad [V(0)=6] $$ To find the velocity $V(t)$ by integrating the acceleration $a(t)$ as follows: $$ \begin{aligned} V(t) &=\int (5t^{2}+4) dt \\ &=\frac{5t^{3}}{3}+4t+C \end{aligned} $$ for some constant $C$. Find $C$ from the given information that $V(t)=6$ when $t=0.$ $$ \begin{aligned} V(0) =\frac{5(0)^{3}}{3}+4(0)+C&=6\\ C&=6 \end{aligned} $$ So, $$ V(t) =\frac{5t^{3}}{3}+4t+6 $$
