Answer:

<em>The height of the candle after 23 hours is 20.4 centimeters</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Mathematical Modeling</u>

To model a real-life situation, a mathematical model can be built in such a way it accurately represents the variables measured in the system.

This problem requires to build a model for the height of a candle as a linear function of the time it has been burning. If the time is expressed in hours and the height is in centimeters, then the linear function can be written as:

H(t)=mt+b

Where m and b are constants we need to find. We are provided two points of reference: After 15 hours of burning, the candle has a height of 22 centimeters. This is the point (15,22).

We also know after 27 hours of burning, the height is 19.6 cm. This is the point (27,19.6). This data is enough to accurately define the function. Let's substitute the first point:

22=15m+b\qquad\qquad [1]

Substituting the second point:

19.6=27m+b\qquad\qquad [2]

Subtracting [1] - [2]:

22-19.6=15m-27m

\Rightarrow 12m=-2.4

Solving for m:

m=-2.4/12=-0.2

Using this value in [1]:

22=15(-0.2)+b

22=-3+b

Solving for b:

b=25

The function is now complete:

H(t)=-0.2t+25

Finally, substitute t=23:

H(23)=-0.2(23)+25=20.4

The height of the candle after 23 hours is 20.4 centimeters

Answer:

No, it does not. See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets find out the linear equation that passes trough (-2, 0) and (0, -6).

We know every linear equation has the form: y = mx + b

Where m is the slope on the curve and b the independent term.

We know that, given 2 points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) we can find the slope m as:

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

In our case lets replace (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) by (-2, 0) and (0, -6) (notice it could be done in the inverse sense where (-2, 0) is (x2,y2) and (0, -6) is (x1,y1) ). So, our slope is:

m = [-6 - 0] / [0 - (-2)]

m = -6/2 = -3

So, we have a downward linear function with slope -3, this is:

y =  -3x + b

Now, for finding b just replace any of the 2 points given in the equation. Lets replace (-2, 0):

0 = -3(-2) + b

0 = 6 + b

Subtracting 6 in both sides:

-6 = b

So, our independent term is -6 and the function is:

y = -3x - 6

Now lets see if this linear eqution passes trough (2,6). If it does, we can replace the values on the equation. Replacing x by 2:

y = -3(2) - 6 = = -6 - 6 = - 12

So, in our equation, we x is 2 y is -12, and not 6 as in the point (2,6). So, our equation does not passes trough (2,6)
