Physics .... A particle moves along?

A p0tarticle moves along a path that varies in time according to the following: 

x(t)=(10+15.0t^2-25.0t^3)m and y(t)=(15.0+10.t-5.00t^2)m

What is the magnitude of acceleration at t=3.00s

Update:

*particle*

    x(t) = 10 + 15.0t² - 25.0t³

    v_x(t) = dx/dt = 30.0t - 75.0t²

    a_x(t) = d²x/dt² = 30.0 - 150t

    which for t = 3.00 s yields

    a_x = -420 m/s²

    y(t) = 15.0 + 10t - 5.00t²

    v_y(t) = dy/dt = 10 - 10.0t

    a_y(t) = d²y/dt² = -10

    at all times t

    so at t = 3.00s,

    |a| = √(420² + 10²) m/s² = 420 m/s²

    Hope this helps!

    What the heck is a p0tarticle? I've never heard of that.
