Answer

The particle is traveling at its greatest speed at x=3.

Work Step by Step

Up until x=3 there's a force that is increasing the speed of the particle. Once it hits x=3 the force turns negative, therefore slowing down the particle. Because of this, the particle is traveling the fastest at x=3.
