A particle moves along the x-axis so that any time t > 0, its acceleration is given by a(t) = ln(1+2'). If the velocity of the particle is 2 at time t =1, then the velocity of the particle at time t = 2 is (A) 0.462
(B) 1.609
(C) 2.555
(D) 2.886
(E) 3.346​

Answer:

V(2) = 3.346

(answer choice E. )

Step-by-step explanation:

Implementing fundamental theorems of calculus we can create this

[tex]\int\limits^2_1 {ln(1+2^t)} \, dx = v(2)-v(1)[/tex]

we are looking for v(2) and we know v(1) = 2 (given in the problem)

so the equation made can be modified to the following

[tex]\int\limits^2_1 {ln(1+2^t)} \, dx = v(2)-2\\[/tex]

rewrite the integral in the first part as

[tex]\frac{Log[2^{1/2 t + 1}(2^{-1/2 t} + 2^{1/2 t})}{2\\}[/tex]

Using a partial integration you can express the integral of log(cosh(p t) in terms of the integral of t tanh(pt) and some simple shifts in the integration limits will allow you to find the analytical expression.

this can be plugged into a calculator to do

and so you will get

[tex]1.346= v(2)-2\\[/tex]

and so [tex]v(2) = 3.346[/tex]
