Total distance walked by Tarik is 0.75 miles according to the given equation.
What is equation?
In arithmetic, an equation could be a formula that expresses the equality of 2 expressions, by connecting them with the sign =.
Main body:
Given that
The expression that represents the Tarik's distance is
=> f(x) = 3∣x−0.5∣
And also given that at 7.15 am he is some distance away from the store
Let Tarik is 'a' miles away from the store at 7.15 am
The time taken to walk 'a' miles = 7.15 - 7.00 = 15 minutes
As we know 60 minutes = 1 hr
=> 15 minutes = 15/60 = 0.25 hrs
The given expression to find the Distance is
f(x) = 3 ∣x − 0.5∣ where x is number of hours
At x = 0.25
f(0.25) = 3 |0.25 - 0.5|
= 3 |- 0.25|
= 0.75 miles
Therefore,Tarik is 0.75 miles away from the store.
