Answer

$$ v(t)=9t^{2}-3\sqrt {t},\quad \quad [s(1)=8] $$ The distance of the object is given by: $$ s(t) =(3t^{3}-2t^{\frac{3}{2}})+7. $$

Work Step by Step

$$ v(t)=9t^{2}-3\sqrt {t},\quad \quad [s(1)=8] $$ Since $v(t)=s^{\prime}(t)$,the function $s(t)$ s an antiderivative of $v(t)$ $$ \begin{aligned} s(t) &=\int v(t) dt \\ &=\int (9t^{2}-3\sqrt {t})dt \\ &= (\frac{9}{3}t^{3}-3\frac{2}{3}t^{\frac{3}{2}})+C \\ &= (3t^{3}-2t^{\frac{3}{2}})+C \\ \end{aligned} $$ for some constant $C$. Find $C$ from the given information that $s(t)=8$ when $t=1.$ $$ \begin{aligned} s(1)=(3(1)^{3}-2(1)^{\frac{3}{2}})+C&=8\\ (3-2)+C&=8\\ (1)+C&=8\\ C&=8-1=7\\ \end{aligned} $$ So, $$ s(t) =(3t^{3}-2t^{\frac{3}{2}})+7. $$
