## Question 10.2 (5 marks)

A runner travels from checkpoint A and stops at checkpoint B. Her speed (in km/h) after $t$ hours is given by $s’(t) = -6t^{2} + 24t$, where $s(t)$ is the distance travelled from A. Note: speed is the rate of change of distance with respect to time, and she starts at A when $t = 0$.
Calculate the distance between checkpoint A and checkpoint B.
