9. start from 110 feet away, a person on a bicycle rides towards a checkpoint and then it passes it. the rider is traveling at a constant rate of 30 feet per second. the distance between the bicycle and the checkpoint is given by the equation d=|110-3t|. at what times is the bike 40 feet away from the checkpoint?
a. 2.3 sec and 5 sec
b. 1.6 sec and 5 sec
c. 2.3 sec and 4.6 sec
d. 1.6 sec and 4.6 sec

A. 2.3 sec and 5 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that start from 110 feet away, a person on a bicycle rides towards a checkpoint and then it passes it. the rider is traveling at a constant rate of 30 feet per second.

The distance between the bicycle and the checkpoint is given by the equation :

Now we are required to calculate at what times is the bike 40 feet away from the checkpoint. So, substitute d = 40 in the equation

    and    

    and  

              and  

                  and  

                 and  

Hence at 2.3 sec and 5 sec  the bike is 40 feet away from the checkpoint.

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square
