x = 3t^2-2t^3
x is in meters and t is in seconds
thanks

this will occur when dx/dt =0
dx/dt = 6t - 6t^2 = 6t(1-t)=0
this occurs when t=0 or t=1
do the second derivative test:
d^2x/dt^2 = 6-12t
when t=0, >0 implies a minimum
when t=1 <0 implies a max...
therefore the greatest displacement occurs at t=1 s
