Question

The changing speed of a car is modeled by the function S(t) = −35t + 30, where t is time in seconds. Interpret the model

Answer 1

The car has an initial speed of 30 units and is slowing down by 35 units per second ⇒ answer C

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of the linear function is f(x) = m x + b, where

• m is the rat of change
• b is the initial value

The changing speed of a car is modeled by the function s(t) = -35t + 30, where t is time in seconds.

We need to interpret the model

∵ The changing speed of a car is modeled by s(t) = -35t + 30

- Compare between the model and the form of the linear function

∴ m = -35 and b = 30

∴ The initial speed is 30 units

∴ The speed is changing by -35 units per second

- If the value of change of the speed is negative, means the

  car is slowing down by this rate

∴ The car is slowing down by 35 units per second

The car has an initial speed of 30 units and is slowing down by 35 units per second
