Question

A vehicle travels a distance of 5t4 − 10t2 + 6 miles in t + 2 minutes. the vehicles speed is..?

Answer 1

speed = distance/time

Answer 2

so you need to some synthetic or polynomial division...

or simply write it as a fraction

Answer 3

lol they really reach for these word problems don't they?

Answer 4

speed is distance divided by rate, so
\[\frac{5t^4-10t^2+6}{t+2}\] there is some chance the numerator factors and you can reduce by cancellation

Answer 5

ok scratch that, the numerator does not factor, so unless there is a typo, that is all you can do

Answer 6

Proof that even math geniuses can mistype.
