Question: 4 . A point P moves in the ( x ) - axis in such a way that its position ( feet )

4. A point P moves in the \( x \)-axis in such a way that its position (feet) in \( t \) seconds is \( x=\frac{1}{3} t^{3}-4 t^{2}+7 t+3\).
(a) Find the velocity and acceleration at time \( t \).
(b) Find the velocity and acceleration at \( t=2\). Is it moving forward or backward and is it speeding up or slowing down at that time?
(c) When is P instantaneously at rest? When is its speed instantaneously not changing?
(d) When is \( P \) speeding up? slowing down?
(e) Draw a diagram showing the motion at time interval \([0,9]\). Note your lines of motion must be horizontal either pointing left or right. If it turns you must raise the horizontal line like you made a \( U \)- turn.
