Suppose that the position vector for a particle is given as a function of time by (t) = x(t) + y(t), with x(t)?

Suppose the position vector for a particle is given as a function of time by r(t) = x(t) + y(t), where x(t) = at + b and y(t) = ct² + d. The constants are defined as follows: a = 1.70 m/s, b = 1.20 m,...
