(graph
replicated 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 car
be traveling to satisfy coordinates B(5, 220)? Is
this speed safe according to this graph?
