A particle travels along a straight line from a point A on the line. Its velocity after t seconds is (48-3t)cm/s. If its distance from A after t seconds is s cm, find s in terms of t. Hence find the time that elapses before the particle is back again at A.

16 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Substituting values into SUVAT formula to find s in terms of t:

To find the time that elapses before the particle is back at A, set s to zero and solve for t:

Therefore, t = 0 and t = 16, so the time that elapses before the particle is back again at A is 16 s

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
