One day, as I was out for a drive, I passed through a 1 mile long, straight tunnel. Although I was observing the speed limit of 60 miles per hour when I entered and when I emerged from the tunnel, a police officer stopped me and gave me a ticket for speeding in the tunnel. When I asked her how she could know that I was speeding, she replied, "Basic calculus. The tunnel is exactly 1 mile long, and cameras at the entrance and exit of the tunnel show that you traveled through the tunnel in 50 seconds." What theorem justifies her claim? (In case you're wondering, I don't really have a Ferrari.) O The intermediate value theorem O The extreme value theorem O The mean value theorem O None of these

Your Question: Problem: Officer Kevin Taylor was on his first day of work and he came upon a wreck at 5 PM. He saw a deer to the side of the road and a long skid mark on the road. The driver was a 26-year-old MCTC student, was not hurt and on the way home from class. The driver claimed to be driving at the speed limit, 35 mph. Office Taylor, having just finished his college algebra course at MCTC, knows that the length L, in feet, of the skid mark and the speed S, in miles per hour, are related by the following formula: S=5.05 * Square root L of a car when brakes are applied is related to the length L, in feet, of the skid mark. The skid mark measures 70 feet. Q1: Identify and define the independent and dependent variables. Q2: Identify the relevant and irrelevant information. Q3: Calculate the speed of the vehicle. Q4: Officer Taylor will write a ticket if the driver is over the speed limit. Will the driver receive a ticket?
A jogger passed me as I was walking down the street yesterday. I wondered whether I could figure out how fast she was running, so I started paying attention to where the jogger was. When she passed a fire hydrant a short distance in front of me, I began to count seconds. It took me 8 seconds to get to the hydrant, but when I reached the hydrant I looked up to see that she was just passing a parking meter. I again counted seconds until I reached the parking meter, and it took me 10 seconds. When I reached the parking meter, she was passing a light pole. It took me 13 seconds to reach the light pole. I knew that I walked two paces in 1 second, and my pace was 1 yard long. Approximately how fast, in miles per hour, was the jogger moving? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.)
It took a salmon 45 seconds to swim upstream to a certain spot. The salmon then turned around to swim with the current and arrived at its starting place in 17 seconds. If the current in that part of the stream is 0.43 meters per second, what was the speed of the salmon?

Here’s a look at a map of the east side of Dubuque, Iowa. It shows a driving path from a casino on the river to a golf course on the other side. According to the maps app on my phone, the driving distance is 3.0 miles. We’re most interested in the graphic at the bottom left, which indicates that 1 inch on the map (measure if you don’t believe me) corresponds to 2,000 feet in real life. If a 50-foot boat were on the river, how big would it appear on the photo? Round to three decimal places.

A railway line connects Parnac station with Rougelle station. The distance between these two stations is 150 km. -a train departs from Parnac at 17:10 and stops at Bernouille station at 17:40. Bernern is 60 km from Parnac - He leaves Bernouille twenty minutes later and crosses the Sévillon train station at 18:30. The Sévillon train station is 45 km from Rougelle. He continued his journey at the same speed until Rougelle station. -Another train leaves Rougelle at 17:35 and arrives at Sévillon at 18h. After 10 minutes of waiting he leaves to reach Bernouille at 18:40 and stops 10 minutes. He finally joined Parnac at 19:20. "At what time and how far from Rougelle do the trains intersect?"

Akira is running around a circular track. Akira runs counterclockwise. From where he starts, it takes him 22 seconds to reach the easternmost point of the track. It takes him 95 seconds to run one complete lap.Bob starts running at the same time as Akira. Bob starts from the northernmost point and runs clockwise. Bob and Akira pass each other for the first time after 26 seconds. How long does Bob take to run one lap of the track? The answer to this question should be the amount of time in seconds rounded to four decimal places that it takes for Bob to run a complete lap around the circular track.
Once upon a time, on a bright and sunny day, claire took a break from working at the snowcone shop. She stepped outside with her favorite book and much to her surprise, she saw a giant dinosaur! Claire is quite short. She is only 5 feet 4 inches tall and she was amazed at the giant dinosaur that towered over her. She was quite determined to find out just how tall that dinosaur was. She quickly grabbed a ruler (she is always prepared with her math tools) and discovered that her shadow was 4 feet long. She carefully measured the dinosaur's shadow. It was 50 feet long! Can you help Claire calculate the height of the dinosaur with that information? Make sure you show all your work for full credit on this assignment.
This question has several parts that must be completed sequentially. If you skip a part of the question, you will not receive any points for the skipped part, and you will not be able to come back to the skipped part. A person's lean body weight L is the amount he or she would weigh if all body fat were magically to disappear. One text gives the "equation that practitioners can use most feasibly in the field to predict lean body weight in young adult males." The equation is found below. L = 98.42 + 1.08W − 4.14A Here L is lean body weight in pounds, W is weight in pounds, and A is abdominal circumference in inches. Find the approximate lean body weight of a young adult male who weighs 181 pounds and has an abdominal circumference of 41 inches. What is the weight of his body fat? What is his body fat percent?
As I was driving along the highway to Cleveland, I noticed a speedometer check along the side of the road with posted signs 1 mile apart. I timed us and found that it took us 5 minutes and 45 seconds to travel 5 miles. We had the car set on cruise control, so we were traveling at a constant speed. A while later we passed a sign that said “Akron 76 miles.” At that speed, how long did it take us to drive those 76 miles to Akron? (Convert your decimal answer to an equivalent number of hours, minutes, and seconds. For example, 7.104 hours = 7 hours 6 minutes 14 seconds.)
