When t = 4,

v = a dt

v = (12 6t) dt
v = 12t 3t2 + c
When t = 0, v = 15. Thus, c = 15
v = 12t 3t2 + 15
At maximum velocity,

When t = 2,

s = (12t 3t2 + 15) dt
s = 6t 2 t 3 + 15t + c
When t = 0, s = 0. Thus, c = 0.

(t 5)(t + 1) = 0
t = 5 or 1
t = 1 is not accepted

1 < t < 5
Since the values of t cannot be negative,
therefore 0 t < 5.

When t = 5,

When t = 5, d s2 = 12 6(5) = 18
