Differential equations:
Alison and Kevin are drag racing. They both travel with a constant acceleration. It takes Alison 3 seconds to complete the last 1/4 of the race. It takes Kevin 4 seconds to complete the last 1/3 of the race. Who won and by how much? I have the answers, but I want to know how to get them. Thanks.
