Question

Mr. Williams is driving on a highway at an average speed of 50 miles per hour. His destination is 100 miles away. The

Answer 1

Answer:

t = -d/50 + 2

0.5 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

d = 50 - 100t

The inverse function:

A.) solving for t

d = 100 - 50t

d - 100 = - 50t

Divide both sides by - 50

d/-50 - (100/-50) = - 50t/-50

-d/50 - (-2) = t

t = -d/50 + 2

B) using the inverse function:

t = -d/50 + 2

Miles driven (d) = 75, find time (t)

t = - 75/50 + 2

t = - 1.5 + 2

t = 0.5

t is in hours, therefore time left to travel is 0.5 hours or 30 minutes
