Answer:

f(x) = 72 - 12x

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of days of study = 6

Amount of food to use for the 6 days = 72 mm

Given that equal amount of food was used each day, amount used per day = \frac{72}{6} = 12 mm

This would enable us derive a function for the amount of food remaining f(x), which can be expressed as a function of the number of days that have passed, (x).

Thus, we would have:

f(x) = 72 - 12x

Let's check if this equation expresses the relation of the function well.

At the end of day 1, if we used, 12mm, we would have 72 - 12 = 60mm of food remaining.

If we replace x in the equation we derived, we would get the same 60mm as the amount of food remaining.

If you try 2, 3, 4, 5 days, you'd get same thing.

At the end of the study, after the 6th day, the food would remain nothing.

Replace 6 for x in the relation function derived, you'd get a value of 0.

The length of the minute hand is 150% of the length of the hour hand. In 2 hours, how much farther does the tip of the minute ha
nekit [7.7K]

The question seems incomplete, as the length of the hour hand isn't given ;

If the tip of the hour hand is taken as 30mm

Answer:

534.1 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2 hours ; cycle performed :

2/ 12

Circumference of a circle = 2 * pi *r

Circumference = 2 * pi * 30 = 60pi

Distance traveled : 60pi * 2/12 = 120pi/ 12 =10pi

The minute hand travels 2 comply cycle in 2 hours

150% taller than short hand :

1.5 * 30 = 45 mm

Distance traveled : 2 (2 * pi * 45) = 180pi

(180pi - 10pi) = 170pi

170π = 534.07075

= 534.1 mm
