(graphical
information from CORD Math)
The graph above can be used to
locate safe and unsafe speed zones.
The lower shaded region is a safe-speed zone where d <
55t.
(d is less than 55t for any pair (t, d) in
this region)
The upper region is an unsafe-speed zone where d
> 55t.
a.) The coordinate (3, 165) lies
on the line d = 55t. What does the number 165
mean?
b.) At what speed
would a car be traveling to satisfy coordinates A(3,
275)? Is this speed safe according to this graph?
c.) At what speed would
a car
be traveling to satisfy coordinates B(5, 220)? Is
this speed safe according to this graph?
