The displacement x of a particle varies with time t as x = ae-αt + beβt where a, b, and β are positive constants. The velocity of the particle will

increase with time
Given:-
x = a e-αt + beβt
We know that
velocity v =
v =
= -a e-αt + bβ eβt
v =
v = A + B
where A = - a , B = bβ e-βt
The value ot term A = -a increases and of term B = bβ e-βt increases with time. As a result velocity goes on increasing with time.
