Question
A particle starts at $x=0$ and moves along the $x$ -axis with velocity $v(t)=2 t+1$ for time $t \geq 0 .$ Where is the particle at $t=4 ?$
Step 1
We know that velocity is the derivative of the position function, so we can find the position function by integrating the velocity function. Show more…

The Definite Integral
Estimating with Finite Sums
A particle moves along the $x$ -axis so that its position at any time $t \geq 0$ is given by $x(t) .$ Find the velocity at the indicated value of $t.$ $$x(t)=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{t}}{4}\right), \quad t=4$$
