At t = 0, a train approaching a station begins decelerating from a speed of 80 mi/hr

Question:

At t = 0, a train approaching a station begins decelerating from a speed of 80 mi/hr according to the acceleration function a(t) = -1280(1 + 8t)-3, where t ≥ 0 is measured in hours. How far does the train travel between t = 0 and t = 0.2? Between t = 0.2 and t = 0.4? The units of acceleration are mi/hr2.
