Explanation / Answer

Given

potential is

V(x) = ax^2-bx+c , a = 2.7 V/m2 , b = 13.5 v/m , c = 11.5 V

Part a

we have the relation between field and potential is  

E = dV/dx

E = (d/dx)(ax^2-bx+c)

E = (2ax-b )

E = (2*2.7*x - 13.5 )

Part b

field at x= 1.0 m is

E(1m) = (2*2.7*1 - 13.5 ) = -8.1 V/m

part C

The direction is , the field is negative means the direction is along -ve x direction

Part d

at x = 5 m is  

E(5 m) = (2*2.7*5 - 13.5 ) = 13.5 V/m

Part e

The direction is , the field is positive means the direction is along +ve x direction
