Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What's the total distance it travels, and how do you go about getting it?
You could integrate the first and third parts, and add them to 3 x 600 to get the total distance. But I'm pretty sure there's a way not involving integration....
eta: I think it's OK to take the average speed for each of the first and third parts to calculate the distance for each.
But my brain is a little sluggish today....

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Yes, this should be easy. Apparently, however, I got it all wrong.
Well, you're starting from a false premise. Aircraft start at 0 mph, not 100. Or it it's the take off speed, most planes that can do 600 mph need to be going a bit faster than 100 to get off the ground in the first place. :)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We have TiVo (and worship it like unto a God), but what with The Daily Show and Baseball games and various movies, things pile up.

BF and I are starting TV-less Tuesday tonight.
I interpret your choice of day thusly: "Dammit, if Buffy's not on Tuesday night, then fuck Tuesday altogether!"

.5*350 + 3*600 + 1*350
I think.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Wait!

Hi Katefate!

Actually for the problem as written, if you take the average speed of the plane while it's accelerating or decelerating times the time it accelerates or decelerates, and add that the distance traveled while it's cruising, you should get the answer they're looking for.
Or what tommy said.

Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove
JZ has a sexy cool new haircut.
So many redundancies in the line I don't know where to start.
Emily, I don't have a clue as to your math problem, but just reading it made me feel all tingly.
Yay for TV-less Tuesday! "Washing the dog" sounds like fun. Is that like the "LUNCH" thing?

No, that's the "crazy hot sex" thing, which is for AFTER we wash the dog.
