The distance d(in feet) that it takes a car to come to a complete stop on dry asphalt can be modeled by d = 0.05s2 + 1.1s where s is the speed of the car ( in miles per hour).  A car has 78 feet to come to a complete stop.  Find the maximum speed at which the car can travel.


Hint: GCF

30 mph

Solve for x and y

y = x2 - x + 2

y = x + 5

(-1, 4) (3, 8)
