Problem- You take measure measurements of the distance traveled by an object that is increasing its speed at a constant rate.The distance traveled a s a function of time can be modeled by a quadratic function.
a.Write a quadratic function that models distances of 10ft at 1sec,30 ft at 2sec,and 100ft at 4sec.
b.FInd the zeros of the function.
c.Describe what each zero represents for this real-world situation.
