Answer: The function that models the distance they drive is
f(x) = 50x + 20 where x is the time in hours
reasonable domain: 0 ≤ x ≤ 3
Step-by-step explanation:
examples:
95 = 50(1.5) + 20 After driving another hour and a half, they will have driven a total of 95 miles.
120 = 50(2) + 20 This means that after 2 more hours they will reach their destination.
There is a little ambiguity in the question. The function could be written as if they are starting out. f(x) = 50t
20 = 50(.4) At 50 mph it took .4 hours to go 20 miles.
120 = 5(2.4) The whole trip took 2.4 hours.
