Distance travelled in the 3rd hour = Distance travelled in first 3 hours - Distance travelled in first 2 hours
⇒ Distance travelled in the 3rd hour = D(3) - D(2)
D(t) = 8t + 5t²
D(3) = 8×3 + 5×3² = 24 + 45 = 69 miles
D(2) = 8×2 + 5×2² = 16 + 20 = 36 miles
Distance travelled in the 3rd hour = 69-36 = 33 miles
⇒ Distance travelled in the 3rd hour = D(3) - D(2)
D(t) = 8t + 5t²
D(3) = 8×3 + 5×3² = 24 + 45 = 69 miles
D(2) = 8×2 + 5×2² = 16 + 20 = 36 miles
Distance travelled in the 3rd hour = 69-36 = 33 miles
