document.write( "Question 1196750: A roller coaster in California allows riders to undergo a freefall in which they descend 415 feet in 7 seconds, accelerating to nearly 100 miles per hour. If x represents the average rate of fall of the roller coaster, use the distance formula to write an algebraic equation describing the roller coaster's motion during the freefall. \n" ); document.write( "
