Show that $b = 9$ and find $c$.
Since the velocity of $P$ is zero only when $t = 5$, find the distance travelled in the first $10$ seconds of motion.
This 10-mark question has a full step-by-step worked solution and mark scheme. One marking point: “Uses $v(5)=0$ to produce an equation in $b$ and $c$, for example $0=\frac94+\frac{b}{(5+1)^2}-c\times5^2$” …
