The velocity-versus-time graph is shown for a particle moving along the x-axis. Its initial position is xo=2.10m at to=0.00s. the Max. Velocity is 3.00m/s

At t=5.25s, what is the particle's position?

I can't figure it out, please help!! URGENT

the link for the graph:

I have tried 11.1m, but it seems not correct.

you start out at 2.1m. velocity is 3m/s for 5.25s.

dont have a calculator on me but without looking at the grapg it should be (3m/s*5.25s)+2.1m. 17.85? im tired so trying to do it inmy head dont work well

would give you final position
