The times and distances that represents the travelers motion are;
- At 2 hours, the traveler is 725 miles from home.
- At 2.5 hours, the traveler is still moving farther from home.
- At 3 hours, the distance is constant, at 875 miles.
- The total distance from home after 6 hours is 1,062.5 miles.
The given parameters;
[tex]D(t) = 300t \ + \ 125, \ \ \ \ \ 0\leq t\leq 2.5\\\\D(t) = 875, \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2.5 \leq t\leq 3.5 \\\\D(t) = 75t + 612.5 , \ \ \ \ \ \ 3.5 \leq t\leq 6 \\\\[/tex]
From the given distance function, we can calculate the distance traveled at each time;
at 0 hours, the starting distance of the traveler is calculated as;
[tex]D = 300(0) + 125\\\\D = 125 \ miles[/tex]
at 2 hours, the distance traveled is calculated as;
[tex]D = 300(2) + 125\\\\D = 725 \ miles[/tex]
at 2.5 hours, the distance traveled by the traveler is calculated as;
[tex]D = 300(2.5) + 125\\\\D = 875 \ miles[/tex]
At 3 hours, the distance traveled by the traveler is calculated as;
[tex]D(t ) = 875 \ \ \ \ \ 2.5 \leq t \leq 3.5\\\\D(3) = 875 \ miles[/tex]
The total distance from home after 6 hours is calculated as follows;
[tex]D = 75(6) \ + \ 612.5\\\\D = 1,062.5 \ miles[/tex]
Thus, the times and distances that represents the travelers motion are;
- At 2 hours, the traveler is 725 miles from home.
- At 2.5 hours, the traveler is still moving farther from home.
- At 3 hours, the distance is constant, at 875 miles.
- The total distance from home after 6 hours is 1,062.5 miles.
