One mole of an ideal gas is heated so that t = ap2, where a is a constant and p is the pressure. the temperature changes from t0 to 4t0. find the work done by the gas. (use the following as necessary: t0, p0, and v0.

Determining the equation for work which is force divided by the displacement of the object.
We say, 

W = Fd

Now, ideal gas of t=ap2 still needs to convert the variables in force and the distance it took so that the force and distance can be computed and work determined.
