Question

Pls help me

Let f(t) = 10 and g(t) = 65t. The distance, in miles, that a car is from a city can be modeled by f(t) + g(t), where t represents time, in hours. Riordan claims that the car is 150 miles from the city after 2 hours of driving, since (10 + 65) = 75(2) = 150. Decide if Riordan is correct. If he is correct, enter 150 below. If he is incorrect, enter the correct distance. miles

Answer 1

Answer: Using the given functions, we can model the distance, d(t), that the car is from the city as:

d(t) = f(t) + g(t) = 10 + 65t

So, after 2 hours of driving, the distance that the car has traveled from the city is:

d(2) = 10 + 65(2) = 10 + 130 = 140 miles

Therefore, Riordan is incorrect, and the correct distance the car is from the city after 2 hours of driving is 140 miles.
