Note: The must be [tex]0.04v^2[/tex] instead of [tex]0.04v[/tex].
Given:
The stopping distance, d ( in feet) for a van moving at a velocity (speed) v miles per hour is modeled by the equation:
[tex]d=0.04v^2+1.1v[/tex]
To find:
The stopping distance for a velocity of 10 miles per hour.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]d=0.04v^2+1.1v[/tex]
where, d is stopping distance and v is velocity.
Substitute v=10 in the given equation to find the stopping distance for a velocity of 10 miles per hour.
[tex]d=0.04(10)^2+1.1(10)[/tex]
[tex]d=0.04(100)+11[/tex]
[tex]d=4+11[/tex]
[tex]d=15[/tex]
So, the stopping distance for a velocity of 10 miles per hour is 15 ft.
Therefore, the correct option is c.
