The answer would be -3x^2+3 x + 36
Answer:
(a) Number of inches that have burned from the candle since it was lit is (1.1t) inches
(b) The remaining length of the candle is (16 - 1.1t) inches
Step-by-step explanation:
(a). Length of candle before it was lit = 16 inches
Constant rate at which at which candle burns = 1.1 inches per hour
Let t represent the number of hours that have elapsed since the candle was lit
In 1 hour, 1.1 inches of the candle burned
Therefore, in t hours, (1.1t) inches of the candle would have burned since the candle was lit
(b) Remaining length of candle = length of candle before it was lit - length of candle that have burned = 16 inches - 1.1t inches = (16 - 1.1t) inches
