Kinematics of motion in a straight line — practice question

A particle $P$ travels along a straight line. It begins at point $O$ on the line with velocity $1.8\,\text{m s}^{-1}$. At time $t\,\text{s}$ after leaving $O$, the acceleration of $P$ is $0.8t^{-0.75}\,\text{m s}^{-2}$.
(main)[6]

Find the displacement of $P$ from $O$ at $t = 16$.
