Question

PLS HELP BEEN STUCK FOR HOURS ON THIS.

Starting from 1.5 miles away, a car drives toward a speed checkpoint and then passes it. The car travels at a constant rate of 53 miles per hour. The distance of the car from the checkpoint is given by d = |1.5 – 53t|. At what times is the car 0.1 miles from the checkpoint? Calculate your answer in seconds. (1 point)95.1s and 108.7s
10.2s and 101.9s108.7s and 10.2s95.1s and 10.2s

Answer 1

AHhhh i have been too): i did steps and i still dont get it. Im from connexus

Answer 2

huh

Answer 3

WRONG ALL OF YOU

Answer 4

ok check this out bruh. this is what i first did. I subtracted 1.5 from both sides of this equation. 1.5-53t=0.1 and i got 1.4 then i divided 1.4/5.3 and i got 0.026415(etc) NEED HELP

Answer 5

:P ANSWER THE TOPIC QUESTION MY BRAINS ABOUT TO BLOW

Answer 6

LMAO I AGREE IVE BEEN SITTIN ON MY retriceFOR 4 HOURS MAN

Answer 7

I have t=0.026 and t=0.030

Does anyone else agree?

Answer 8

d = |1.5 – 53t|
0.1 = -(1.5 - 53t)
0.1 = 1.5 - 53t

0.1 =53t - 1.5

1.5 + 0.1 = 53t
1.6/53 = t
t = 108.67 secs


53t = 1.5 - 0.1
53t = 1.4
t = 1.4/53
t = 95.09 secs

Answer 9

fellow i got the same on these two equations i just did

Answer 10

Good on you

Answer 11

so 0.026 and 0.030 is correct? hero

Answer 12

I don't know where you get that from. It wants in seconds

Answer 13

In hours, yes, that is correct

Answer 14

wait nvm. gotcha. thanks!;)

Answer 15

I don't know why it took you four hours

Answer 16

@Girly17, I help you with a question and you block me and call me a weirdo? Thanks

Answer 17

Yeah, double checked I got it.

You can solve this problem in 2 ways.

1st way by pure math abs( anything ) = something means

anything =+something and/or anything =-something and solve for t

also you can think of this as a physics problem with zero acceleration, deduce your position function and find the times at the desired distances.

Answer 18

I solved it the "easiest" way

Answer 19

calm down calm down you were rude and said post it like everyone else. well look here yo i woulda done that but i couldnt find how to do that so i seen send a message thing and it was easier for me.

Answer 20

took me 4 hours cuz im awesome like that

Answer 21

I wasn't being rude. I was trying to explain to you that it is inconvenient to help you in the messages.

Answer 22

Messages are not for posting questions.

Answer 23

Anyone else would tell you the same thing

Answer 24

which means you took it the wrong way, how are the inconvenient? lets see.

Answer 25

and how was i suppose to know?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Answer 26

You didn't know, but I was explaining to you. That's all I can try to do is communicate with you and explain to you. All you have to do is not overreact.

Answer 27
