Problem of the day! (Calculus)

The distance traveled by a passenger train is given by the equation x = 3t^2 + 2t + 4 where x is the distance in kilometer and t is the time in hours. What is the velocity after traveling 10 kilometers?

Solution:

Velocity is equal to first derivative of distance with respect to time, so,
v = dx / dt
x = 3t^2 + 2t + 4 (eq.1)
dx/dt = v = 6t + 2
v = 6t + 2 (eq.2)
find t to solve v
from the eq.1 solve the value of t where x = 10 km
10 = 3t^2 + 2t + 4
3t^2 + 2t – 6 = 0
solve t using Quadratic Formula
t = [-b ± (b^2 - 4ac)^0.5] / 2a
where a, b and c are the coefficient of t^2, t and constant term.
using calculator
t = 1.11963 hrs and −1.7863 hrs
used positive value of t to solve the value of velocity after 10 km.
from eq.2 solve the value of v when t = 1.11963 hrs
v = 6(1.11963) + 2
v = 8.72kph

Watch out for the human traffickers at hivefest. You wont know it until its too late. STAY AWAY! Beware, traffickers can be women or men! They will act nice until they dont. There is human trafficking going on around this type of crypto. I have witnessed it. They literally have attempted my murder and are trying to kill me with V2K and RNM. Five years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, DHS, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation. I bet we can get to the sources of V2K and RNM then. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism ..... https://ecency.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem if you run into one of them you may want to immediately shoot them in the face. 187, annihilate, asphyxiate, assassinate, behead, bleed, bludgeon, boil, bomb, bone, burn, bury, butcher, cap, casket, choke, chop, club, crucify, crush, curb, decapitate, decimate, deflesh, demolish, destroy, devein, disembowel, dismember, drown, electrocute, eliminate, end, euthanize, eviscerate, execute, explode, exterminate, extinguish, finish, fry, grind, guillotine, gut, hack, hang, hit, ice, implode, incinerate, kill, liquidate, lynch, massacre, maul, microwave, mutilate, neutralize, obliterate, off, pop, poison, punnish, quarter, ruin, shank, shock, shoot, shred, skin, slay, slaughter, smoke, smother, snipe, snuff, squish, stab, strangle, stone, suffocate, suicide, SWAT, swing, terminate, torture, terrorize, whack, waste, wreck.
