A model for the braking distance, d feet, required to stop a certain car when it is traveling x miles per hour is +d=%28x%5E2%2F20%29%2Bx+. According to this model, what is the braking distance, in feet, required to stop this car when it is traveling 30 mph?
:
+d=%28x%5E2%2F20%29%2Bx+
x=30
+d=%2830%5E2%2F20%29%2B30+
+d=%28900%2F20%29%2B30+
+d=45%2B30+
d = 75ft to stop going 30 mph
