Answer

$$ a(t)=18t+8,\quad \quad [v(1)=15,\quad s(1)=19] $$ The distance of the object is given by: $$ s(t) =(3t^{3}+4t^{2}-2t)+14 $$

Work Step by Step

$$ a(t)=18t+8,\quad \quad [v(1)=15,\quad s(1)=19] $$ First find $v(t)$ by integrating $a(t)$ $$ \begin{aligned} V(t) &=\int (18t+8) dt \\ &=\frac{18}{2}t^{2}+8t+C\\ &=9t^{2}+8t+C \end{aligned} $$ for some constant $C$. Find $C$ from the given information that $v(t)=15$ when $t=1.$ $$ \begin{aligned} V(1) =9(1)^{2}+8(1)+C&=15\\ 9+8+C&=15\\ C&=15-17=-2\\ \end{aligned} $$ So, $$ V(t) =9t^{2}+8t-2 $$ Since $v(t)=s^{\prime}(t)$,the function $s(t)$ s an antiderivative of $v(t)$ $$ \begin{aligned} s(t) &=\int v(t) dt \\ &=\int (9t^{2}+8t-2)dt \\ &= (\frac{9}{3}t^{3}+\frac{8}{2}t^{2}-2t)+k \\ &= (3t^{3}+4t^{2}-2t)+k \\ \end{aligned} $$ for some constant $k$. Find $k$ from the given information that $s(t)=19$ when $t=1.$ $$ \begin{aligned} s(1)=(3(1)^{3}+4(1)^{2}-2(1))+k&=19\\ (3+4-2)+k&=19\\ k&=19-5\\ k&=14\\ \end{aligned} $$ So, the distance of the object is given by: $$ s(t) =(3t^{3}+4t^{2}-2t)+14 $$
