show me what you have so far

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Look at the graph for car 1. Where does it cross the x axis?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the point (70,0)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what this means is that when x = 70, y = 0 x = time y = distance when the time is 70 minutes, the distance is 0 (ie you get to the destination)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's what the x intercept means for car 1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

notice in the table for car 1 how x = 70 and y = 0 pair up (first two rows, last column)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

look at the graph of car 2. Where does the curve cross the y axis? you can also look at the table for car 2 and look for the y value when x = 0

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes so this is basically saying that at the beginning time (time t=0 minutes), the distance away from home is 70 km

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the distance car 2 is away from the destination is 70 km

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

give it a shot and tell me what you think

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

x is involved somehow

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I think you meant to say \[\Large 0 \le x \le 70\] ???

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

try another browser?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what about the equation?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the domain of car 1 is |dw:1444424463898:dw|
