4. A squirrel starts at building $A$ at time $t = 0$ and travels along a straight, horizontal wire connected to building $B$. For $0 \leq t \leq 18$, the squirrel's velocity is modeled by the piecewise-linear function defined by the graph above.
(a) At what times in the interval $0 < t < 18$, if any, does the squirrel change direction? Give a reason for your answer.
(b) At what time in the interval $0 \leq t \leq 18$ is the squirrel farthest from building $A$ ? How far from building $A$ is the squirrel at that time?
(c) Find the total distance the squirrel travels during the time interval $0 \leq t \leq 18$.
(d) Write expressions for the squirrel's acceleration $a ( t )$, velocity $v ( t )$, and distance $x ( t )$ from building $A$ that are valid for the time interval $7 < t < 10$.
