Okay, so we want to figure out where is this object moving right from its displacement function, x of t.
00:07
And so the way that we're going to do this is we're going to find our velocity equation.
00:11
So v of t here is equal to the derivative of x of t, x prime of t, and then we're going to set it equal to zero and find where t is equal to zero.
00:20
And then we'll go from there.
00:21
I'll explain it from there.
00:22
So the derivative function, x prime of t, is going to be equal to the derivative of t to the fourth, which is 14.
00:30
T cubed minus 12 times the derivative of t cubed which be 12 times 3 t squared or 36 t squared and then plus 28 28 times the derivative of t squared which would be 56 t and so now that we have our velocity equation let's go ahead and set it equal to zero and i'm also going to factor out a 4 t on this right side so we're going to have 4 t times t squared minus 9t and then plus 14.
01:08
And so t squared minus 9t plus 14, that actually factors as well into t minus 2 times t minus 7 is equal to 0.
01:19
So that means at t is equal to zero, at t is equal to 2 and at t is equal to seven are the values where our derivative or our velocity equation is equal to zero.
01:28
And the reason that we want to have these values is because for something to go from positive to negative, it needs to pass the x -axis.
01:38
It needs to have a value where it's going to be equal to zero as long as it's a continuous equation.
01:43
In this case, our equation or our velocity equation is continuous.
01:47
So that means that in order for us to go from positive to negative, we have to cross the x -axis.
01:52
So really, we just need to look at values of t that are less than zero, that are between zero and two, and then we actually shouldn't do that.
02:05
And then for values that are between 2 and 7, and then for values that are greater than 7.
02:12
And then whatever value or whatever sign our derivative is at these values, if it's positive for t less than 0, then we're going to know that we're going right there.
02:24
If it's positive in this one, then we know we're going right and so on.
02:27
So let's go ahead and just do this for values of t that are less than zero...
