78" m".

Explanation:

Given function is

s(t)=5t^2+t+2

Distance covered in t=1" s"
s(1)=5(1)²+(1)+2=8" m"

Distance covered in t=4" s"
s(4)=5(4)²+(4)+2=86" m"

Distance covered in the given time interval =86-8=78" m"

78 "m"

Explanation:

We're given an equation for distance, and we're asked to find the distance traveled on the interval t in [1color(white)(l)"s", 4color(white)(l)"s"].

To do this, let's find the distance covered at each of these times, and find the difference between them.

Plugging in 1 for t:

s(1) = 5(1)^2 + (1) + 2 = color(red)(8 color(red)("m"

And then plugging in 4:

s(4) = 5(4)^2 + (4) + 2 = color(green)(86 color(green)("m"

The distance it traveled in this time interval is thus

"Distance" = s(4) - s(1) = color(green)(86 color(green)("m" - color(red)(8 color(red)("m" = color(blue)(78 color(blue)("m"

Thus from time t = 1 "s" to t = 4 "s", the object traveled a distance of color(blue)(78 sfcolor(blue)("meters".
