A truck enters a stretch of road that drops 4 meters in elevation for every 100 meters
along the length of the road. The road is at 1,300 meters elevation where the truck
entered, and the truck is traveling at 16 meters per second along the road. What is the
elevation of the road, in meters, at the point where the truck passes t seconds after
entering the road? - Answer -1,300 − 0.64t
What is the correct expanded version of this equation?
(s-t)(s/t) - Answer -(s^2/t)-s
p(x) = 3(x2 + 10x + 5) − 5(x − k). In the polynomial p(x) defined above, k is a constant. If
p(x) is divisible by x, what is the value of k? - Answer -−3
