A snowboarder starts from rest at the top of a double black diamond hill. As she rides down the slope, GPS coordinates are used to determine her displacement as a function of time: x= 0.5 + t2 + 2t, where x and t are expressed in feet and seconds, respectively. Determine the position, velocity, and acceleration of the boarder when t= 5 seconds.
