Jason is traveling on a highway at a constant rate of 60
miles per hour when he passes his friend Alan parked on
the side of the road. Alan has been waiting for
Jason to pass so that he could follow him to a nearby
campground.
To catch up to the Jason's passing car, Alan accelerates
at a constant rate. The distance
d,
in miles, that Alan's car travels as a function of time
t,
in hours, since Jason's car has passed is given by
d
= 3600t2.
 |
Write and solve a system of
equations to calculate how long it takes Alan's
car to catch up with Jason's car.
