A man begins a car trip to visit his in-laws.

The total distance is 60 miles, and he starts off at

a speed of 60 miles per hour. After driving exactly 1 mile, he loses some of his enthusiasm
for the journey, and (instantaneously) slows down to 59 miles per hour. After traveling
another mile, he again slows to 58 miles per hour. This continues, progressively slowing by 1
mile per hour for each mile traveled until the trip is complete.
(a) How long does it take the man to reach his in-laws?
(b) How long would the trip take in the continuous case where the speed smoothly diminishes
with the distance yet to travel?
Answer:

For each mile, find the speed he is travelling in ( x mph). When he is travelling at that
speed, how much time does it take for him to travel 1 mile? Add all values for each xx to
get the answer.

You will need to construct a differential equation for the problem. And solve it to express
distance travelled as a function of time. The man decreases his speed by 1 mph starting
from 60. Hence velocity at any time t would be
