Acable car begins its trip by moving up a hill. as it moves up, it gains elevation at a constant rate of 50 feet/minute until it reaches the peak at 2,000 feet. then, as the car moves down to the hill’s base, its elevation drops at the same rate.
the equation that models the cable car’s elevation, e, after t minutes is e =
|t −
| +
.
the cable car’s elevation will be 750 feet after
minutes.
