Task 1:

To avoid skidding while driving a car, you need to know what a safe stopping distance is. Assume you are traveling on a dry road and have an average reaction time.

The formula f(x) = 0.044x2 + 1.1x gives you a safe stopping distance in feet, where x is your speed in miles per hour.

1. Make a table of values for speeds of 10, 20 30, 40, 50 and 60 mi/h.

X	F(x) mi/h
10	15.4
20	39.6
30	72.6
40	114.4
50	165
60	224.4

2. Use Excel to graph the function:
