Question

Write a function that models the following description: A man drove a total of 40 miles over a 2-hour period. (1 point)

Answer 1

Answer:

The function is Speed, f(t) = x/t

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The distance the man drove = 40 miles

The duration of time the man drove = 2-hours

Given that a function maps each item of the input domain to a single item of the output domain, we can have the following relation for the above parameters;

Speed = (Distance travelled)/(Time taken)

Where, speed f(t), is a function of the time taken, t, to travel a distance x

The function is therefore;

Speed, s = f(t) = x/t

Speed = 40/2 = 20 mile per hour.
