Answer:

A = 1/2bh

Step-by-step explanation:

40 = (.5)(6x - 4)(x)

40 = (3x-2)(x)

40= 3x^2 - 2x

3x^2 -2x - 40 =0

3x^2 - 12x + 10x - 40 = 0

3x(x - 4) + 10(x -4) = 0

(3x + 10)(x - 4) = 0

x = {4 , - 10/3}

x = 4 , b = 20. h = 4

Answer:

$D(t)=-24t+166$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

D(t) = the distance to the safe zone (measured in meters)

t = time (measured in seconds)

<u>Given:</u>

Rachel's rate = 24 meters per second

At $t_1=4$ seconds $D(t_1)=70$ meters

<u>Find:</u> D(t)

Rachel's rate is the slope of the function D(t). Since the distance is decreasing when the time is increasing, the slope must be negative.

Hence, the function expression is

$D(t)=-24t+b$

To find b, substitute $t_1=4$ and $D(t_1)=70:$

$70=-24\cdot 4+b\\ \\70=-96+b\\ \\b=70+96\\ \\b=166$

So,

$D(t)=-24t+166$
