Answer

So, the displacement of the particle over the time interval [3,5] is 256 meters.

Steps

Step 1 :The displacement of a particle moving in a straight line is given by the integral of the velocity function over the given time interval.

Step 2 :The velocity function is given as v(t)=34t8 m/s.

Step 3 :We need to find the displacement over the time interval [3,5].

Step 4 :This is given by the definite integral of the velocity function from 3 to 5: 35v(t)dt=35(34t8)dt.

Step 5 :This integral can be solved by using the power rule for integration, which states that the integral of tn is (1/n+1)tn+1, and the fact that the integral of a constant is just the constant times the variable of integration.

Step 6 :So, 35(34t8)dt=[17t28t]35.

Step 7 :Now, we substitute the upper and lower limits of the integral: (175285)(173283).

Step 8 :This simplifies to (42540)(15324).

Step 9 :Further simplification gives 385129.

Step 10 :So, the displacement of the particle over the time interval [3,5] is 256 meters.
