ALGEBRA 2:
The position of a passenger train that is traveling at an initial speed of 14 feet per second and continues to accelerate can be modeled by the function y = 14t2. A second train that is 1,400 feet ahead of the first train is traveling at a constant speed of 96 feet per second and can be modeled by the function y = 96t + 1400. Solve the system of equations. Which solution represents a viable time that the trains are side by side?
