I am not understanding the question.

Answer:
This question is asking you to find the ending position of a shape (particle) that is moving horizontally along the horizontal axis by finding its velocity with the equation shown. When t=0, the shape is 4 units to the left of the vertical axis, so it wants you to find where on the horizontal axis the shape is when t = 8. Hope this helped!!!
Answer:
(C) 16 units to the right
Step-by-step explanation:
Position is the integral of velocity with respect to time:
x = ∫ v dt
x = ∫ (t − ∛t) dt
x = ½ t² − ¾ t^(⁴/₃) + C
At time t = 0, x = -4.
-4 = ½ (0)² − ¾ (0)^(⁴/₃) + C
-4 = C
So the position equation is:
x = ½ t² − ¾ t^(⁴/₃) − 4
At time t = 8:
x = ½ (8)² − ¾ (8)^(⁴/₃) − 4
x = 32 − 12 − 4
x = 16
The particle is 16 units to the right of the origin.
