To find the units of \( b \) in the equation \( x = at + bt^2 \), where \( x \) is the distance traveled in kilometers and \( t \) is the time in seconds, we can follow these steps: 1. **Identify the Units of Each Quantity**: - The unit of \( x \) (distance) is kilometers (km). - The unit of \( t \) (time) is seconds (s). 2. **Analyze the Equation**: - The equation \( x = at + bt^2 \) implies that both terms on the right side must have the same units as \( x \). ...
