I understand part a. put ill write it in as I think its useful for part b. which is where I'm stuck. Any help would be great .
A car starting from rest is driven along a horizontal track.
The velocity of the car, vms^-1 ,at time t seconds is modelled by the equation:
v=0.48t^2-0.024t^3 for 0<t<15
a. Find the distance the car travels in the 1st 10 seconds of the journey.
If I'm right I got 120m
b. Find the maximum speed of the car

Let v(t) = 0.48t^2-0.024t^3 , for 0<t<15
So it's a function for velocity in respect to time therefore lets treat it like a normal function
How do we find maximum or minimum points of a function? [ Have a go then reveal the spoiler]
Then at what value will the function mentioned in the spoiled be min or max?
We will get values for t therefore we plug back into the original v(t) to get a maximum velocity

Differentiate to get v'(t)

Set v'(t) = 0
Solve for t
Set v'(t) = 0
Solve for t
We will get values for t therefore we plug back into the original v(t) to get a maximum velocity

a) differentiate the equation and place 0 and 10 as the limits
b) Honestly trial and error with the equation, try and plug in any number within the range
