The velocity of a particle is given by the, equation \(v(x)\) \(=3 x^2-4 x\), where ' \(x\) ' is the distance covered by the particle. The expression for its acceleration is

  1. A \((6 x-4)\)
  2. B \(6\left(3 x^2-4 x\right)\)
  3. C \(\left(3 x^2-4 x\right)(6 x-4)\)
  4. D \((6 x-4)^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left(3 x^2-4 x\right)(6 x-4)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Velocity, \(v=3 x^2-4 x\) \(\therefore \quad\) Acceleration, \(a=v \cdot \frac{d v}{d x}=\left(3 x^2-4 x\right) \frac{d}{d x}\left(3 x^2-4 x\right)\) \(=\left(3 x^2-4 x\right)(6 x-4)\)
