The emergency brake cable in a truck parked on a steep hill breaks and the truck starts rolling down the hill. The distance in feet, d, that the truck rolls is represented by the function d=f(t)=0.5t2. Using this function, find out how far the truck will roll after 9 seconds.

Answer:

The truck will roll 40.5 feet from top of the hill after 9 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be [tex]f(t)[/tex] the distance rolled by the truck in time, measured in feet, whose expression is:

[tex]f(t) = 0.5\cdot t^{2}[/tex]

Where [tex]t[/tex] is the time, measured in seconds.

By evaluating this function at [tex]t = 9\,s[/tex], we find the distance rolled by the truck:

[tex]f(9\,s) = 0.5\cdot (9\,s)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]f(9\,s) = 40.5\,ft[/tex]

The truck will roll 40.5 feet from top of the hill after 9 seconds.
