The position of a particle moving along x-axis varies eith time t as `x=4t-t^(2)+1`. Find the time interval(s) during which the particle is moving along positive x-direction. |

Answer» If the particle moves along positive x-direction, its x-coordinate must increase with time t. x-coordinate will increase with time t if `(dx)/(dt) gt 0`. `(dx)/(dt)=4 -2t` `(dx)/(dt) gt 0rArr 4-2t gt 0rArr t lt 2` Hence, the particle moves in positive x-direction during time-interval `0 lt t lt 2`. |
