The word 'difference' indicates the use of subtraction in a Mathematical sum

The error is that the sum could be 15 - 5y instead of 5y - 15

A subtraction sum does not have the commutative properties, meaning that we cannot do the sum in any order. 

A sum 15 - 5y will give a different result with the sum 5y - 15 for the same value of y.

Marcel is performing the first test on his company's new electric car. During the test, the electric car reaches a maximum speed
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

C. The electric car is not moving at 0 seconds and 12 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The table given is:

x   0   2    4     6      8      10      12  

y   0   45  72   81    72     45     0

From the above table, we observe that the car starts from rest and its speed increases from 0 to 6 seconds, the maximum speed being 81 mph.

After 6 seconds, the speed of the car goes on decreasing till it stops at time equal to 12 seconds.

So, the speed of the car at the start when x=0 is 0 mph as it is at rest at that time.

Also, when the time is x=12\ s, the car has come to a stop and thus its speed has reduced to 0 mph again. So, the car is not moving after 12 seconds.

From the above conclusion, we can say that only option C is correct.

The electric car is not moving at 0 seconds and 12 seconds.
