Question

The minimum braking distance for a vehicle with new tires at optimal inflation is d(v) = 0.039v2. What kind of transformation describes this change from d(v) = 0.045v2 to d(v) = 0.039v2, and what does this transformation mean?

Answer 1

The minimum breaking distance d in feet for a typical vehicle can be modeled with the equation d(v) = 0.045v2, where v is the vehicle's speed in miles per hour

Answer 2

A)Horizontal compression by a factor of 13/15; the braking distance will be more with optimally inflated new tires than with tires having more wear.
B)Vertical compression by a factor of 13/15; the braking distance will be more with optimally inflated new tires than with tires having more wear.
C)Horizontal compression by a factor of 13/15; the braking distance will be less with optimally inflated new tires than with tires having more wear.
D)Vertical compression by a factor of 13/15; the braking distance will be less with optimally inflated new tires than with tires having more wear.
