i'm trying to solve this "displacement from velocity problem"

the velocity is 15t^0.6

i'm trying to find the displacement equation.

i have no idea on how to pursue this, any help that can guide me to the answer?

iirc you want to find the area under that curve so you'd integrate it.

I think you'd take the integral of the equation... should be something like 9.375 t^1.6 + C, where C is a constant - do you have any initial values?

we haven't learned that stuff yet, right now we're only dealing with finding derivatives of a power and derivatives using the x=c definition. We haven't really gotten into definite/indefinte integrals yet (indepth)

to get the displacement function, you integrate the velocity since the velocity is the derivative of the dsiplacement curve.

to find that>

integral X^n = 1/nX^(n+1) + c, where X is the variable and c is a constant of integration. The answer would be 9.375 t^1.6, unless i'm foreting something
