Find the second derivative.y = 2×3 – 2×2 + 6

The function s = f(t) gives the position of a body moving on a coordinate line, with s in meters and t in seconds.s = 8t2 + 3t + 10, 0 ≤ t ≤ 2Find the body’s displacement and average velocity for the given time interval.

The function s = f(t) gives the position of a body moving on a coordinate line, with s in meters and t in seconds.s = 2t2 + 2t + 8, 0 ≤ t ≤ 2Find the body’s displacement and average velocity for the given time interval.

The figure shows the velocity v or position s of a body moving along a coordinate line as a function of time t . Use the figure to answer the question. v (ft/sec)When is the body moving backward?
