A tortoise and hare are competing in a 1000 meter race. The function f and g are such that f(t) represents the tortoise's distance from the finish line (in meters) t seconds after the start of the race and g(t) represents the hare's distance from the finish line (in meters) t seconds after the start of the race. If we want to compute the number of seconds needed for the hare to finish the race, which procedures should be used?

Answer:

[tex]g(t) = 0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]d = 1000m[/tex]

[tex]f(t) \to[/tex] Tortoise

[tex]g(t) \to[/tex] Hare

Required

Time needed by the Hare to complete the race

The function [tex]g(t)[/tex] implies that the Hare is t seconds from completing the race.

When g(t) = 0, it means that the Hare has completed the race

So, to calculate the time needed by the Hare;

We simply equate g(t) to 0, then solve for t
