We are given function: y= - 5.131x^2+ 31.821x - 3.333

Where, x is the number of hours after 5a.m.

We need to approximates the number of people standing in line to catch a commuter train at 7 a.m.

From 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. total number of hours = 7-5 = 2 hours.

So, we need to plug x=2 in the given function.

Plugging x=2 in y=- 5.131x^2+ 31.821x - 3.333, we get

y=- 5.131(2)^2+ 31.821(2) - 3.333

Let us simplify it now.

2^2= 4.

Therefore,

y=- 5.131(4)+ 31.821(2) - 3.333

= -20.524 + 63.642 - 3.333.

= 39.785 or 40 approximately.

Therefore, the number of people in line at 7 a.m. is approximately 40 people.

Option D.40 is correct option.

Whats v = r + at solve for a
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

v - r

------ = a

  t

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with v = r + at, subtract r from both sides, so as to isolate the 'at' term:

v - r = r - r + at, or

v - r = at

Next, divide both sides by t, to isolate a:

v - r

------ = a

  t
