A tortoise and hare are competing in a race. The function f and g are such that f(t) represents the tortoise's distance from the finish line (in meters) t seconds after the start of the race and g (t) represents the hare's distance from the finish line (in meters) t seconds after the start of the race.
If we want to compute the number of seconds needed for the hare to finish the race, which of the following procedures should be used?
A. Solve g(t)=0 for the value of t.
B. Solve g(t)=1000 for the value of t.
C. Evaluate g(0).
D. Solve f(t)=g(t) for the value of t.
E. Evaluate g(1000).

Answer:

g(t) = 0; solve for t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Options (a) to (e)

Required

Which of the options is true

From the question, we understand that: g(t) represents hare's time to complete the race

At the beginning of the race, the time left to complete the race is at g(t) = 0; then solve for t.

Take for instance:

[tex]g(t) = 10 - t[/tex]

The time to complete the race is: g(t) = 0

So, we have:

[tex]0 = 10 - t[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]t = 10[/tex]

To determine the number of seconds that the hare would finish the race, we solve g(t) = 0, to calculate the value of t.

Linear equation

Linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the slope of the equation (rate of change) and b is the y intercept (initial value of b).

Given that g (t) represents the hare's distance from the finish line (in meters) t seconds after the start of the race.

To determine the number of seconds that the hare would finish the race, we solve g(t) = 0, to calculate the value of t.
