General motion in a straight line

In summary, the conversation discusses calculating the distance traveled by an object using integration. The process involves finding the velocity and integrating it over specific time intervals. However, there is a discrepancy between the calculated distance and the textbook answer. Both individuals are unsure of the exact solution and suggest the possibility of a calculation error or incorrect answer in the textbook.

Can you also pls tell how to calculate 7(c).
I calculate s1 for interval between t=0 and t=1 and s2 for the interval between t=1 and t=5 by integrating their respective velocities. I did that and I get the ans 30m but the textbook ans is 69.2m. Pls help

For $0 \le t \lt 1$ $s= 1/2 t^2 + 2/3 t^3$ putting t=1 we get 7/6
For $1 \le t \le 5 $ $v= 30/4 t + 5/4 t^{-2} - 23/4 $ integrate and putting limits we get $x-7/6 = (15/4) (5^2 - 1^2) + (5/4)(1- 1/5)+ (23/4)(1-5)$ I'm getting x =63 + $7 \over 6$ So total distance = 63 + $7 \over 3$ = 65.34
Even I am also not getting the answer may be I made a calculation mistake or the answer is wrong. Afaik this will be done here.
