A particle PP moves in a straight line. At time tt s after leaving a point OO on the line, PP has velocity v m s−1v \text{ m s}^{-1}, where v=44t−6t2−36v = 44t - 6t^{2} - 36.
2(a) [2]
Find the set of values of tt for which the acceleration of the particle is positive.
2(b) [3]
Find the two values of tt at which PP returns to OO.
