a.
To write: An inequality that can be used to find the x -values for which
a.
Answer to Problem 47E
The required inequality is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The model of the driver’s reaction time
The model of reaction time
Age of the driver = x
Calculation:
The given equations are:
Take
Simplify the above expression further.
Hence, the required inequality is
b.
To calculate: The solution of the inequality using a graphing calculator. Also, describe the use of the domain
b.
Answer to Problem 47E
The required solution of the inequality is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The model of the driver’s reaction time
The model of reaction time
Age of the driver = x
Calculation:
The given equations are:
The graph of inequality is shown below:
From the above graph, the interval where the red graph is below the blue graph is the solution of the inequality.
This means the interval
The given domain helps to obtain the proper solution of the inequality.
Hence, the required solution of the inequality is
c.
To determine: Whether the driver would react more quickly to a traffic light changing from green to yellow or a the siren of an approaching ambulance.
c.
Answer to Problem 47E
The driver would react more quickly to a traffic light than to a siren.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The model of the driver’s reaction time
The model of reaction time
Age of the driver = x
Calculation:
The given equations are:
The graph of inequality is shown below:
From the above graph, the interval where the red graph is below the blue graph is the solution of the inequality.
This means the interval
The given domain helps to obtain the proper solution of the inequality.
It is seen in the graph that the blue graph (visual stimuli) is above the red graph (audio stimuli). This means that the driver would react more quickly to a traffic light.
Hence, the driver would react more quickly to a traffic light than to a siren.
