1. **State the problem:** We are given a velocity function $v(t)$ over the interval $0 \leq t \leq 5$ with known displacement and total distance traveled. We need to find the value of the definite integral $$\int_2^4 v(t) \, dt$$.
2. **Given information:**
- Displacement over $[0,5]$ is 3, i.e., $$\int_0^5 v(t) \, dt = 3$$.
- Total distance traveled over $[0,5]$ is 13, i.e., $$\int_0^5 |v(t)| \, dt = 13$$.
3. **Understanding displacement and distance:**
- Displacement is the net change in position, the integral of velocity.
- Total distance is the integral of the absolute value of velocity.
4. **Analyze the velocity graph:**
- Velocity is positive on $[0,2)$ and $[4,5]$.
- Velocity is negative on $(2,4)$.
5. **Calculate integrals over subintervals:**
Let
$$A = \int_0^2 v(t) \, dt,$$
$$B = \int_2^4 v(t) \, dt,$$
$$C = \int_4^5 v(t) \, dt.$$
Then,
$$A + B + C = 3$$ (displacement),
$$A - B + C = 13$$ (total distance, since $v$ is negative on $[2,4]$, absolute value flips sign).
6. **Solve the system:**
Subtract the first from the second:
$$ (A - B + C) - (A + B + C) = 13 - 3 \Rightarrow -2B = 10 \Rightarrow B = -5.$$
7. **Answer:**
$$\int_2^4 v(t) \, dt = -5.$$
