in the summer of 2005 Road and Track magazine gathered 15 vehícies (13 cars, 1 motorcycle and an F/A-18 Hornet) for a full 1 mile acceleration test at the Lomoore Naval Air Base in California. The first-placed Lola Champ Car crossed the finish line at 203.3 mph, taking just 24.2 seconds for the ontire trip. Some of the speed are recorded below. Time (Seconds) Speed (mph) 3.1 60 5.3 100 8.6 150 9.9 161.4 a) Would an exponential model be appropriate to model this situation in the short term? OA. NO B. YES b) H I modeled this data with an exponential function (ab") what would the predicted speed tend to at time goes on? The speed would tend to e) Let s(x) be the speed of the Champ Car at time x during the one mile run. Find an appropriate model of this situation. ) According to your model what is the top speed of the Champ Car? Do not include units.

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
