Women’s records in the women’s 1500-m run. The formula

R =−0.0026? + 4.0807

can be used to predict the world record, in minutes, for the 1500-m run t years after 1900. Determine (in terms of an inequality) those years for which the world record will be less than 3.8 min.

- 0.0026 t + 4.0807 <3.8 -0.0026t < -0.2807 0.0026t > 0.2807 t > 0.2807/0.0026 t>107.96

anonymous · Answer

in the formula R u have typed ? after 0.0026, what is it

anonymous · Answer

oh its a ? not a letter. i just rechecked the question

anonymous · Answer

if ? implies the number of years world record will be less than 3.8 min.
which is R in the problem, we should take < inequality and establish the result
