I have a pet turtle and his name is Pong Pagong. One night he crawled along a straight line and his path was caught by a CCTV camera. The camera footage reveals that Pong's path can be described as a function of time through the equation x(t) = 40.0cm + (2.00) t-(0.06) t² at what times is pong a distance 10.0cm from its starting point? what is pong's velocity(magnitude and direction) at each of those times?

Question
I have a pet turtle and his name is Pong Pagong. One night he crawled along a straight line and his path
was caught by a CCTV camera. The camera footage reveals that Pong's path can be described as a
function of time through the equation
x (t) = 40.0cm +(2.00) t-(0.062
t²
at what times is pong a distance 10.0cm from its starting point? what is pong's
velocity(magnitude and direction) at each of those times?
