A particle moves in a straight line such that its displacement, xm, from a fixed point O at time tseconds is given by x = 12{ln(2t+3)}. Find

  1. (i)the value of t when the displacement of the particle from O is 48 m,[3]
  2. (ii)the velocity of the particle when t = 1,[3]
  3. (iii)the acceleration of the particle when t=1.[3]
