Given:
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Calculate the time when particle is speeding up and slowing down.
Substitute 0 for in the equation .
From the graph of part , it can be observed that the acceleration and velocity function have the same sign in the interval .
The acceleration and velocity function have the same sign in the interval .
The particle speeds up when the acceleration function and the velocity function have the same sign and hence the particle speeds up in the intervals and .
Notice that the acceleration function and the velocity function have different signs in the interval .
The particle slows down when the acceleration function and the velocity function have the different sign and hence the particle speeds up in the interval .
