Problem

A particle moves along a straight line so that its displacement is x(t)=t3−6t2+9tx(t)=t^{3}-6t^{2}+9t (metres) for 0≤t≤3 s0\le t\le 3\,\text{s}. a. (i) Compute the average velocity of the particle for the interval 0≤t≤3 s0\le t\le 3\,\text{s}. b. (ii) Show that there exists at least one instant tt in the open interval (0,3)(0,3) when the instantaneous velocity equals this average velocity. Determine all such value(s) of tt.
