. The velocity, v, in metres per second, of a go-cart at a given time, t, in seconds, is modelled by the function v(t) = -2t + 4. The distance travelled, in metres, can be determined by calculating the area between the graph of v(t) = |-2t + 4| and the x-axis. What is the distance travelled in the first 5 s?

The following graph should help (remembering that the area of a triangle is half base times height):
