The car travels at a constant rate of 45 MPH. The distance the car travels from the check point is given by d=/1.8-45t/. At what times is the car 0.4 miles from the checkpoint? \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "Solve:: \n" ); document.write( "|1.8-45t| = 0.4 \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "1.8-45t = 0.4 or 1.8-45t = -0.4 \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "45t = 1.8-0.4 \n" ); document.write( "45t = 1.4 \n" ); document.write( "t = 0.03 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Or \n" ); document.write( "45t = 1.8+0.4 \n" ); document.write( "45t = 2.2 \n" ); document.write( "t = 0.049 \n" ); document.write( "=============== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( " |
