A semi-truck traveling at an average speed of 70 miles per hour covers a distance of 35 miles. How long did it take?

↳Redirected from "Suppose that I don't have a formula for #g(x)# but I know that #g(1) = 3# and #g'(x) = sqrt(x^2+15)# for all x. How do I use a linear approximation to estimate #g(0.9)# and #g(1.1)#?"

It took #0.5# hours.

Explanation:

Rearrange the formula for speed.

#\text(speed) = \text(distance)/\text(time)#

#\text(time) = \text(distance)/\text(speed)#

Substitute known values.

#\Deltat = (35\text(mi))/(70\text(mi)/\text(h))#

#\Deltat = 0.5 \text(h)#
