L(t)=9-0.5t
t=time in hours,
L(t)=length of candle at time t
(A) substitute t=1,2,3,4,5,6 respectively to get
(1,8.5)
(2,8)
(3,7.5)
(4,7)
(5,6.5)
(6,6)
(B) it is a function because none of the x-values duplicate, (nor the y-values).
(C) If the rate changes to 0.45 "/hr, the relation is still linear.
All linear function with finite slope are functions.
-0.5,-0.4,-0.3,-0.1,0,1,2,3,4,4.17
The second Version of the game is greater for hitting the down button because substituting any number for x, the second equation would always end up having a greater amount.
Equation: f(x)=(1/5)x^2 or f(x)=(0.2)x^2
Check:
f(0)=(1/5)(0)^2
f(0)=(1/5)(0)
f(0)=0✓
f(5)=(1/5)(5)^2
f(5)=(1/5)(25)
f(5)=5✓
Answer: y = 2x+8
