The radical equation below can be used as a model how distance of a skid mark is related to speed when the driver stopped, where v represents velocity/speed, d represents distance/length of skid mark, and k is the drag factor. Use this formula to calculate the speed of the federal vehicle when it stopped.

v = d over k ( d over k is a fraction)

*The accident reconstruction/investigation determined that the skid marks of the federal vehicle were 33 ft, 4 inches. The posted speed limit in the parking lot is 15mph. A drag sled test determined then drag factor to be 0.037

I need this problem worked out please. I'm frustrated! Thanks
