Answer

$(\dfrac{1}{2}t^2+1) i+t^2j+tk$

Work Step by Step

As we are given that $a(t)=i+2j$ Since, $v(t)=\int a(t)$ and $r(t)=\int v(t)$ Thus, $v(t)=\int (i+2j) dt$ $\implies v(t)=ti+2tj+k$ Now, $r(t)=\int [ti+2tj+k] dt=\dfrac{1}{2}t^2i+t^2j+tk+ c$ Here, $c$ represents a constant of integration. That is, $r(0)=i \implies c= i$ or, $r(t)=\dfrac{1}{2}t^2i+t^2j+tk+i$ Hence, $r(t)=(\dfrac{1}{2}t^2+1) i+t^2j+tk$
