Representation of data — practice question

A particle $P$ leaves rest at point $O$ and moves in a straight line. The acceleration of $P$ is $(15 - 6x)\,\text{m s}^{-2}$, where $x\,\text{m}$ denotes the displacement of $P$ from $O$.
(i)[5]

Find the value of $x$ at which $P$ has its greatest velocity, and determine this maximum velocity.

(ii)[2]

Calculate the acceleration of $P$ at the instant it is at rest, given that $x > 0$.
