LESSON 5 ASSIGNMENT Continued 3 Kian drives 48 miles per hour and speeds up to merge onto the highway. He gradually accelerates at a rate of 7 miles per hour for several seconds. You can use the formula at² to calculate the distance, S, an object travels in t seconds. In this formula, u represents the initial velocity, and a represents a constant acceleration. S=ut + (a) Substitute the initial velocity and constant acceleration into the formula to write an equation to represent the distance Kian travels. Use the Quadratic Formula to determine the roots of the equation. What do the roots represent in this problem situation? Explain your reasoning.
