A particle moves along the x-axis so that its velocity at time $0 < t < 18$ is given by $v(t)$, whose graph is shown in the figure below. The inflection points of the graph are marked with green circles. Find all intervals of time when the particle has a negative acceleration.

Step 1
Acceleration is the derivative of velocity with respect to time. This means that if the velocity of a particle is increasing, its acceleration is positive, and if the velocity is decreasing, its acceleration is negative. Show more…
