d"x/dt = 6t-6.
6(5)-6 = 24.
6(4)-6 = 12.
24/12 = 2.

The ratio is 2.

Another method d"x/dt = 6t-6.

6(5)-6 = 24 and 6(3)-6 = 12. we got the ratio 2.

x = Distance.
v = Velocity = dx/dt.
a = Acceleration = dv/dt.

From x = t3 - 3t2 + 5.

v = 3t2 - 6t.

a = 6t - 6.

By substituting 5 sec and 3 sec in a.

a1 = 24.
a2 = 12.

a1 : a2 = 2 : 1.
(1)

x = t3 - 3t2 + 5.
dx/dt = t2/2 - 3t.
= 12.5 - 15.
= -2.5.

4.5 - 9.
= -4.5.

4.5/2.5 = 1.8 = 2.
