Choose the Car With the Best Velocity Game

You will be competing in a car race where you get to choose the car. You will be given the velocity functions of each car and based on this information, pick the car that will win the race, i.e. travel the farthest during the given time frame. Click on "Next Race" to get started.

Left car's velocity: $v(t) = 4$, Right car's velocity: $v(t) = t+1, 1<t<3$

Left car's velocity: $v(t) = 3t^2-12t+10$, Right car's velocity: $v(t) = 2t+1, 0<t<4$

Left car's velocity: $v(t) = 1 + 3\cos(t)+\sin(t)$, Right car's velocity: $v(t) = \frac{1}{3}, 1<t<3$

Left car's velocity: $v(t) = e^x-6x^2+8x+3$, Right car's velocity: $v(t) = 10-3x, 0<t<5$

Left car's velocity: $v(t) =2\cos(x)-\sin(x)-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$, Right car's velocity: $v(t) = \frac{2x^{4/3}-3\sqrt{x}}{6x^2}, 6<t<10$
