The average fleet-wide performance of light duty trucks has made constant improvement since 1980. For example, the time for the

average 1080 light-duty truck to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph was about 14.5 seconds. For 2005 models, that time was only 10.5 seconds.
A) Let m be the model year of a light-duty truck and T be the time in seconds for it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph. Write a linear function T(m) to model the situation.


B) Use your answer to part (A) to predict the time it will take the average light-duty truck to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2015, if the trend continues.

A) T(m) = -0.16m +331.3

B) T(2015) = 8.9 . . . seconds

_____
The linear regression function of a graphing calculator can find the equation of the line easily. Or, you can use the 2-point form of the equation of a line.
.. T(m) = (10.5 -14.5)/(2005 -1980)*(m -1980) +14.5
.. T(m) = -0.16(m -1980) +14.5

Bob and James are finishing the roof of a house. Working alone, Bob can shingle the roof in 14 hours. James can shingle the same
Snowcat [4.5K]

we know that Bob can do the whole job in 14 hours, how much of the work has he done in 1 hour only?  well since he can do the whole lot in 14 hours in 1 hour he has only done 1/14 th of the job.

we know that James can do it in 18 hours, a bit slower, so in 1 hour he has done only 1/18 th of the job.

let's say it takes both of them working together say "t" hours, so in 1 hour Bob has done (1/14) of the work whilst James has done (1/18) of the work, the whole work being t/t or 1 whole, so for just one hour that'd 1/t done by both Bob and James.

\bf \stackrel{Bob}{\cfrac{1}{14}}~~+~~\stackrel{James}{\cfrac{1}{18}}~~=~~\stackrel{total~for~1~hour}{\cfrac{1}{t}} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{using an LCD of 126}}{\cfrac{9+7}{126}=\cfrac{1}{t}}\implies \cfrac{16}{126}=\cfrac{1}{t}\implies 16t=126\implies t=\cfrac{126}{16} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{7 hrs, 52 minutes and 30 seconds}}{t=\cfrac{63}{8}\implies t=7\frac{7}{8}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{rounded up}}{t=7.88}
