Now, let's derive $x(t)$ from (1) by time-shifting:  $$\vec{x}(t) = \vec{x}(t - \Delta t) + \vec{v}(t- \Delta t) \Delta t + \frac{1}{2} \vec{a}(t- \Delta t) \Delta t^2$$  We can see that  $$\vec{v}(t- \Delta t) \Delta t + \frac{1}{2} \vec{a}(t- \Delta t) \Delta t^2 = \vec{x}(t) - \vec{x}(t - \Delta t)$$  Then (6) turns into  $$\vec{x}(t + \Delta t) = \vec{x}(t) + \vec{x}(t) - \vec{x}(t - \Delta t) + \vec{a}(t) \Delta t^2$$  $$\vec{x}(t + \Delta t) = 2 \vec{x}(t) - \vec{x}(t - \Delta t) + \vec{a}(t) \Delta t^2$$  which is \textit{exactly} (3). $\not{\Delta}$
