Question

tarik starts a morning walk at 7:00 am. his distance, in miles, to the nearby grocery store after x hours is f(x)

Answer 1

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.
