Detailed Solution

Given function  x=5t29t+3
1st derivative,   dxdt=10t9=0t=910=0.9sec
2nd derivative test, d2xdt2=10>0
As second derivative is positive, hence there exists a minima at  t=0.9sec
Now, check for the limiting values
When t=0;x=3m and as t,x
It means the maximum position coordinate does not exist
For minimum position, putting t = 0.9 sec in the equation 
 x=5(0.9)29(0.9)+3=1.05m
Now let us plot the graph
