Question

polynomial word problem.

Answer 1

Stopping Distance
The number of feet that a car travels before stopping depends on the drivers reaction time and the breaking distance. For one driver, the stopping distance is given by the polynomial 0.04v^2 + .9v where the V is the velocity of the car. Find the stopping distance when the driver is traveling at 3mph.

Answer 2

Can you help me set up the equation?

Answer 3

where did you get 3

Answer 4

Would you multiply
\[.04v ^{2}\] so that it is .o4 (3) and then squared

Answer 5

You are given v is the speed of the car. You know for this driver it's 3.

Put 3 into the parts where it says v and solve.

Answer 6

You are given v is the speed of the car. You know for this driver it's 3.

Put 3 into the parts where it says v and solve.
