Answer:
240 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Figure is attached.
The distance the particle travels is the area under the v-t graph over the time interval from 0 min to 4 min. The reason you can't just multiply velocity by time is that the velocity is changing at a constant rate over the given time interval (the line is going upward--the particls is speeding up).
What's the area under the graph?
The red outline forms a trapezoid. The area of a trapezoid is where the <em>b</em>'s are the lengths of the two parallel base and <em>h</em> is the height (the distance between the bases).
Reading the graph carefully (notice the scales!)...
Answer:
Jake's error in step 3
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
Complete the square
step 1
Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation
step 2
Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side
step 3
Rewrite as perfect squares
Jake's error in step 3
He placed 6 instead of 3 in the left side
step 4
take square root both sides
step 5
step 6
step 7
x=5 and x=1
