Question

A car traveling along a long straight highway at a constant speed passes a rest area. The distance d, in miles, the car must travel to reach the next rest area as a function of the time t, in hours, is modeled by d(t) = 100 - 65t . a) What does the 100 represent in the context of the problem? b) What does the 65 represent in the context of the problem?

Answer 1

100 is the distance between that rest stop and the next 65 is the speed in which the car is traveling
