Answer

$\theta=-t^2-\dfrac{t}{2}+\sqrt 2$

Work Step by Step

We need to find the anti-derivative for $\dfrac{d^3 \theta}{dt^3}=0$ We have: $\dfrac{d^2 \theta}{dt^2}=c$; $\dfrac{d \theta}{dt}=ct+c'$, $\theta=\dfrac{ct^2}{2}+c'x+c''$ Apply the initial conditions $\theta''(0)=-2 ; \theta'(0)=\dfrac{-1}{2},\theta(0)=\sqrt 2$ Thus, $c=-2$ , $c'=\dfrac{-1}{2}$ and $c''=\sqrt 2$ Hence, $\theta=-t^2-\dfrac{t}{2}+\sqrt 2$
