A particle moves along the axis under the influence of a variable force = 6.8 + 4.4 where the force is measured in Newtons and the distance in meters. What is the potential energy associated with this force at = 4.0 m? Assume that = 0 J at = 0 m

Is there supposed to be a sqrt(-1) or an x after the 4.4? 6.8 + 4.4 is just 13.2. Is this one-dimensional motion? If so, just integrate -F dx for the potential energy.
