In a drag race, a car is traveling at 50 mph, and the speed of the car is increasing by 88 mph every second.
Write an inequality to help determine how many seconds, s, it will take before the car is going more than 300 mph.
T = %28Vf+-+Vi%29%2Fa
Vf = 300, final velocity
Vi = 50, initial velocity
a = 88, Av acceleration
:
t =%28300-50%29%2F88
t > 2.841 seconds exceeding 300 mph
