If the distance covered by an object in time t is given by s(t)=t^2+5t , where s(t) is in meters and t is in seconds, what is the distance covered in the interval between 1 second and 5 seconds?
a. 24 meters
b. 30 meters
c. 40 meters
d. 42 meters
e. 44 meters

E. 44 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that models the distance covered by the object is

where s(t) is in meters and t is in seconds.

The distance covered by the object after 1 second is

The distance covered by the object after 1 second is

The distance covered between 1 second and 5 seconds is

50-6=44m
