towards the intersection of the roads and Matt walking away from it. At a certain instant,
John is located 60 ft. away from the intersection, and 100 ft. away from Matt. During this
instant, at what rate is the distance between John and Matt changing? Indicate whether
the distance is increasing or decreasing. (4 points)
2. As a certain luxury car cruised along a straight road, it exhibited a velocity function of
u(t) = 8 — pt+q m./s., where p,q € R and the positive direction is eastward. The car
started from rest. At ¢ = 2, the car garnered an acceleration of 8 m./s.? and was located
