At the origin x=0 and t=0. It seems you want to find when x=0, ( I assume x=displacement)

So just put 4.0-6.0t²=0 , then make t² the subject and take the square root of that number. You're answer will then be t=±√(number)

In order to determine at what negative and positive time the particle passes through the origin, you will need to analyze the direction and speed of the particle's motion. If the particle is moving in a straight line, you can use the equation x = vt, where x is the position, v is the velocity, and t is time.

If the particle is moving towards the origin, the position will be decreasing and the velocity will be negative. In this case, you can set the equation x = 0 and solve for t to find the time at which the particle passes through the origin in the negative direction.

For the positive direction, the particle's position will be increasing and the velocity will be positive. Similarly, you can set the equation x = 0 and solve for t to find the time at which the particle passes through the origin in the positive direction.

It is important to note that negative and positive time refer to the direction of the particle's motion, not the actual time itself. Time is a continuous variable and can be measured in both positive and negative values. So, the negative and positive time in this context simply indicate the direction of the particle's motion towards or away from the origin.

In summary, to find the time at which the particle passes through the origin in both negative and positive directions, you will need to analyze the particle's velocity and solve the equation x = 0 for t. This will give you the time at which the particle is at the origin, either moving towards or away from it.
