Algebra.Com's Answer #106 by ichudov(507)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! We know that velocity is V = a+bt, where a is a constant and t is the variable. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When t = 0, a+b*0 = 20 \n" ); document.write( "When t = 11, a+b*11 = 53\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is a simple linear system, which you can solve using a linear system solver that will show work. The solution is pretty obvious, the first equation gives you a=20, and the second equation b*11 = 33, gives you b = 11. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
