The velocity of a particle moving along the x-axis is given by $v(t) = 3t^2 - 12t + 9$ meters per second, where $t$ is measured in seconds. The particle starts at the origin at $t = 0$.
b. Find the total distance traveled by the particle from $t = 0$ to $t = 3$ seconds. Explain why this value differs from the displacement calculated in part (a).
