Question 1053432: a bus is driving at 60 miles per hour toward a bus station that is 250 miles away. the function d=250-60t represents the distance d from the bus station the is t hours after it has started driving. find the zero of this function. describe what this value means in this context.
Answer by jorel555(1290)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If d=250-60t, then zero would be:
250-60t=0
250=60t
t=4.167 hours, or 4 hours and 10 minutes.
In this context, this would mean that there is 0 miles between the bus and the bus station---or in other words, the bus has arrived at the station. ☺☺☺☺
