Directions For Questions

A car accelerates from rest constant rate of $$2\ {ms}^{-2}$$ for some time. Immediately after this, it retards at a constant rate of $$4\ {ms}^{-2}$$ and comes to rest. The total time for which it remains in motion is $$3\ s$$. Taking the moment of start of motion as $$t=0,$$ answer the following question.
