Compute the determinants using cofactor expansion along any row or column that seems convenient.

$$\left| \begin{array} { r r r } { - 4 } & { 1 } & { 3 } \\ { 2 } & { - 2 } & { 4 } \\ { 1 } & { - 1 } & { 0 } \end{array} \right|$$

Use algebra to evaluate the limit.

$$\lim _ { h \rightarrow 0 } \frac { ( - 3 + h ) ^ { 2 } - 9 } { h }$$

The speed limit in a school zone is $40\ \mathrm{km/h}$ (about $25\ \mathrm{mi/h}$). A driver traveling at this speed sees a child run onto the road $13\ \mathrm{m}$ ahead of his car. He applies the brakes, and the car decelerates at a uniform rate of $8.0\ \mathrm{m/ s^2}$. If the driver 's reaction time is $0.25\ \mathrm{s}$, will the car stop before hitting the child?
