A particle P\displaystyle P is moving in a straight line. The displacement s\displaystyle s of P\displaystyle P, in metres, at time t\displaystyle t seconds, t0\displaystyle t \geq 0, is given by
s=e2tsin3t+2s = \mathrm{e}^{2t} \mathrm{sin} 3t + 2
At time t=0\displaystyle t = 0, P\displaystyle P is at the point A\displaystyle A and at time t=π6\displaystyle t = \frac{\pi}{6}, P\displaystyle P is at the point B\displaystyle B
(a) Find the exact distance AB\displaystyle AB
(2)
(b) Find the exact velocity of P\displaystyle P when t=π3\displaystyle t = \frac{\pi}{3}
