The position of a passenger train that is traveling at an initial speed of 14 feet per second and continues to accelerate can be modeled by the function y = 14t2. A second train that is 1,200 feet ahead of the first train is traveling at a constant speed of 130 feet per second and can be modeled by the function y = 130t + 1200. Solve the system of equations. Which solution represents a viable time that the trains are side by side?
