Figure 2 shows a graph of the speed of the car, v ms−1, as it travels between the two sets of traffic lights. The car takes T seconds to travel between the two sets of traffic lights. The speed of the car is modelled by the equation v = (10 − 0.4t) ln(t + 1) 0 t T where t seconds is the time after the car leaves the first set of traffic lights. According to the model, (a) find the value of T (1) (b) show that the maximum speed of the car occurs when t = 26 1 1 + + ln( ) t − 1 (4) Using the iteration formula tn +1 = 26 1 1 + + ln( ) tn − 1 with t1 = 7 (c) (i) find the value of t3 to 3 decimal places, (ii) find, by repeated iteration, the time taken for the car to reach maximum speed.
