Greg and Marti are racing remote control cars. The race starts at t=0 and the cars distance is measured from the start line. Both cars have a constant rate of change. Information about each of the cars during the race is shown below.

Marti is the winner

Step-by-step explanation:

Continuation of question:The race was over after 10 seconds. The winner of the race is defined by the person who is farthest from the start line. Whose car should be crowned the winner? Use mathematics to justify your answer.Table is attached Solution

Greg

Speed = 13 ft/sStart point = 30.7 ft from start line after 2 seconds

Distance from start line after 10 seconds:

30.7 + 13*(10 - 2) = 30.7 + 13*8 = 30.7 + 104 = 134.7 ft

Marti

Speed = 16.5 ft/sStart point = 2 ft from start line

Distance from start line after 10 seconds:

2 + 10*16.5 = 2 + 165 = 167 ft

Comparing distances from the start line, 134.7 ft vs 167 ft, Marti is farthest from the start line and he is the winner.

Part A

The rational equation that can be used to determine how long it would take Lara to clean the tank alone is; 6/9 + 6/x = 1

Part B

It would take Lara 18 hours to clean the tank if she works by herself

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The time it takes Kevin to clean an aquarium tank alone = 9 hours

The time it takes Kevin and Lara to clean the tank together = 6 hours

Let '1/x' represent Lara's cleaning rate, we have;

The time it would take Lara to clean 1 tank alone = 1/(1/x) = x

Kevin's cleaning rate, y = 1/9 tank per hour

The number of tanks, z =  tank

The total time it takes both of them to clean the tank, t = 6 hours

Therefore, we get;

t × y + t × 1/x = z

When t = 6, y = 1/9, and z = 1, we get;

6 × (1/9) + 6·(1/x) = 1

Therefore, the rational equation that can be used to determine how long it would take Lara to clean the tank if she work by herself, '1/x', is given as follows;

6/9 + 6·(1/x) = 1

6/9 + 6/x = 1

Part B

Solving the rational equation gives;

1/x = (1 - 6/9)/6 = 1/18

∴ 1/x = 1/18)

∴ x = 18

The time it would take Lara to clean the tank if she worked by herself, x = 18 hours
