The speed of a vehicle the moment the brakes are applied can be determined by its skid marks. The length, \(D\), in feet, of the skid mark is related to the speed, \(S\) in miles per hour, of the vehicle before braking by the function \(D=\frac{1}{30 f n} S^{2},\) where \(f\) is the drag factor of the road surface and \(n\) is the braking efficiency as a decimal. Suppose the braking efficiency is \(100 \%\) or 1 a) Sketch the graph of the length of the skid mark as a function of speed for a drag factor of \(1,\) or \(D=\frac{1}{30} S^{2}\) b) The drag factor for asphalt is \(0.9,\) for gravel is \(0.8,\) for snow is \(0.55,\) and for ice is 0.25.

Problem 13
Gil is asked to translate the graph of \(y=|x|\) according to the equation \(y=|2 x-6|+2\) He decides to do the horizontal translation of 3 units to the right first, then the stretch about the \(y\) -axis by a factor of \(\frac{1}{2},\) and lastly the translation of 2 units up. This gives him Graph 1. To check his work, he decides to apply the horizontal stretch about the \(y\) -axis by a factor of \(\frac{1}{2}\) first, and then the horizontal translation of 6 units to the right and the vertical translation of 2 units up. This results in Graph 2. a) Explain why the two graphs are in different locations. b) How could Gil have rewritten the equation so that the order in which he did the transformations for Graph 2 resulted in the same position as Graph \(1 ?\)
