Please help Sam is observing the velocity of a car at different times. After two hours, the velocity of the car is 54 km/h. After four hours, the velocity of the car is 58 km/h. Part A: Write an equation in two variables in the standard form that can be used to describe the velocity of the car at different times. Show your work and define the variables used. (5 points) Part B: How can you graph the equation obtained in Part A for the first six hours? (5 points)

OpenStudy (dan815):

how much did the velocity change by and in what time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.2

OpenStudy (dan815):

try again

OpenStudy (dan815):

look at the difference in the velocities you are given

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have 54 and 58

OpenStudy (dan815):

and how much time elapsed while this change was taking place

OpenStudy (dan815):

58 km/hr - 54km/hr = 4km/hr this change took between the t=2hrs and t=4hrs so in 2 hours your speed changed 4 km/r

OpenStudy (dan815):

4 km/hr

OpenStudy (dan815):

so avg acceleration=change in velocity/change in time = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4?

OpenStudy (dan815):

no

OpenStudy (dan815):

what is your change in velocity?

OpenStudy (dan815):

|dw:1392701206098:dw|

OpenStudy (dan815):

acceleration is the slope of this line

OpenStudy (elise_a18):

@dan815 Will you help me with this question? I made a function already but Idk how to put it into standard form

OpenStudy (elise_a18):

f(x)= 52(1.93)^2
