For this problem, we are given a formula that predicts the fastest a human can run a certain distance. We need to determine the time a human can run 1609 meters.
The formula is:
[tex]t=0.0588s^{1.125}[/tex]We need to replace s with 1609 and solve for t.
[tex]\begin{gathered} t=0.0588(1609)^{1.125}\\ \\ t=0.0588\cdot4049.26\\ \\ t=238.096 \end{gathered}[/tex]The fastest a human can run 1609 meters is 238.096 seconds.
