Question

The total travel time for the ranger to get to the car is the sum of the travel time in the forest and the travel time on the road. Write the total time T as a function of x, using the letter c for the distance from the end of the road on the left to the car.

Answer 1

[ext]T(x) = 2C / Speed[/ext]

Explanation:

[ext]Time taken for the Ranger to get to the car = Sum total time taken to travel in the forest and on the road[/ext]

Since [ext]distance of the Ranger to the car = C[/ext]

[ext]Time taken = distance/speed[/ext]

[ext]Total Time taken T(x) = 2 * C / speed[/ext]

T(x) = 2C / speed
