Answer

a) The position after 2 hours is 146 miles. b) $v(t)=65$ c) The car is going 67 mph at $t=3$. $s(3) = 202$ miles.

Work Step by Step

(a) The car's position after 2 hours is denoted by the expression $s(2)$. The position after 2 hours is $$ s(2)=11(2)^2+2+100=44+2+100=146 $$ (b) The question is: "For what $t$ value is $v(t)=65$? To find out when the car is going 67 mph , we set $v(t)=67$. We have $$ \begin{aligned} 22 t+1 & =67 \\ 22 t & =66 \\ t & =3 . \end{aligned} $$ The car is going 67 mph at $t=3$. c) When $t=3, s(3)=11\left(3^2\right)+3+100=202$, so the car's position when it is going 67 mph is 202 miles.
