In 1990, Arie Luyendyk set the record for the fastest Indy 500 average speed, about 186 mph. The time in hours to finish the race based on Arie Luyendyk's record can be modeled by a function t in terms of s, where s is the speed above 186 mph. Evaluate the function for s = 10. What does this value of the function represent

Okay.  What could we do with number in reference to Arie Luyendyk?

anonymous · Answer

Look, here's the formula. I don't quite get what you're asking

anonymous · Answer

We know Arie had an average speed of 186.  500/186 would be his time.
500/196 would be the time if you had an average of 10 mph faster.
