Answer

$33 \ m$

Work Step by Step

Let $x$ be the displacement of the particle. Therefore, $v(t)=\dfrac{dx}{dt}=4t-3$ Integrate the above equation to obtain the displacement of the particle over the time interval $[2,5]$: $\int_2^{5} dx=\int_2^{5} (4t-3) \ dt$ or, $ =[2t^2-3t]_2^{5} $ or, $=[2(5)^2-3(5)]-[2(2)^2-3(2)]$ or, $=35-2 $ or, $=33 \ m$ Therefore, the displacement of the particle over the time interval $[2,5]$ is $33 \ m$
