Problem

Question Watch Video Show Examples A particle moves along the $x$-axis so that at time $t \geq 0$ its velocity is given by $v(t)=9 t^{2}-18 t$. Determine all intervals when the particle is moving to the right. Answer Attempt 1 out of 2 Submit Answer

Solution

Step 1 :A particle moves along the x-axis so that at time t ≥ 0 its velocity is given by v(t)=9 t^{2}-18 t. We need to determine all intervals when the particle is moving to the right.

Step 2 :The particle is moving to the right when its velocity is positive. Therefore, we need to find the intervals of t for which v(t) > 0. This involves solving the inequality 9t^2 - 18t > 0.

Step 3 :Solving the inequality gives us two intervals: t < 0 and t > 2.

Step 4 :However, the problem states that t ≥ 0, so we can ignore the interval t < 0.

Step 5 :Therefore, the particle is moving to the right when t > 2.

Step 6 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{t > 2}\)
