Two cars P and Q start from a point at the same time in a straight line and their positions are represented by x_P(t)=a t+b t^2 and x_Q(t)=f t-t^2.…
Two cars $\displaystyle P$ and $\displaystyle Q$ start from a point at the same time in a straight line and their positions are represented by $\displaystyle x_P(t)=a t+b t^2$ and $\displaystyle x_Q(t)=f t-t^2$. At what time do the cars have the same velocity?
Official answer
From NTA’s final answer key for this paper.
(4)
$\displaystyle \frac{f-a}{2(1+b)}$
