There is a question on my homework that asks use d=1032-200t to the approximate the distance in miles and time in hours of a pilot from her destination. find the distances for the time values given in 2a and 2b
2a:t=1.5 hours
2b:t=4.8 hours
how do i solve this?
<<how do i solve this? >>
Take the equation for distance from destination vs. time,
d=1032-200t,
and substitute 1.5 hours for t.
You get d = 1032 - 300 = 732 miles
d is in miles if t is in hours.
Do the 2b case similarly
To solve this problem, you will use the equation d=1032-200t, where d represents the distance in miles and t represents the time in hours.
For 2a, substitute the given time value of 1.5 hours into the equation:
d = 1032 - 200(1.5)
d = 1032 - 300
d = 732
So, for 2a, the distance is approximately 732 miles.
Now, for 2b, substitute the given time value of 4.8 hours into the equation:
d = 1032 - 200(4.8)
d = 1032 - 960
d = 72
So, for 2b, the distance is approximately 72 miles.
Therefore, the distances for the time values given in 2a and 2b are approximately 732 miles and 72 miles, respectively.
