Answer:

The car was moving approximately at a speed of 37.74 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The stopping distance of a car is given by

d = 0.05r(r + 2)

where d is the stopping distance in feet and r is speed of the car in miles per hour.

The stopping distance is 75 feet, we have to find the speed of the car,

Putting d = 75 in the equation, we get,

75 = 0.05r(r + 2)\\r^2 + 2r = 1500\\r^2 + 2r-1500 = 0\\\\r =\dfrac{-2\pm \sqrt{4-(4)(1)(-1500)}}{2}\\\\r\approx -39.74,37.74

Thus, the car was moving approximately at a speed of 37.74 miles per hour.
