A race car driving under the caution flag at 40 feet per second begins to accelerate at a constant rate after the warning flag.
The distance traveled since the warning flag in feet is characterized by 30t2 + 40t, where t is the time in seconds after the car starts accelerating again. How long will the car take to travel 150 feet?
1 answer:
Answer:
t = 1.667 s
Step-by-step explanation
The distance traveled since the warning flag in feet is characterized by
d = 30*t^2 + 40*t
Where t is the time in seconds after the car starts accelerating.
We can easily solve this question by plotting the equation using a graphing calculator or plotting tool.
We need to find the time for which the distance d = 150 ft
150 = 30*t^2 + 40*t , t > =0
We can see that this value in the graph is approximately
t = 1.667 s
We can verify
30*(1.667)^2 + 40*(1.667 ) ≈ 150

Answer:
39.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relation between angles and sides of a right triangle.
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
This lets us write two equations in two unknowns:
tan(67°) = AD/CD . . . . . . . . . . angle at guy point
tan(39°) = AD/(CD+32) . . . . . .angle 32' farther
__
Solving the first equation for CD and using that in the second equation, we can get an equation for AD, the height of the tower.
CD = AD/tan(67°)
tan(39°)(CD +32) = AD . . . . eliminate fractions in the second equation
tan(39°)(AD/tan(67°) +32) = AD
32·tan(39°) = AD(1 -tan(39°)/tan(67°)) . . . simplify, subtract left-side AD term
32·tan(39°)tan(67°)/(tan(67°) -tan(39°)) = AD . . . . divide by AD coefficient
AD ≈ 39.486 . . . . feet
The tower is about 39.5 feet high.

p = k1d
k1 is the proportionality constant.
and p = k2
here k2 is the proportionality constant.
Thus,
combining both equations we get, p = C
