Considering the given function, we have that:
a) D(12) = 2600, which means that after 12 hours of driving, the family is 2600 miles from home.
b) D(t) = 2490 when t = 14, which means that the family is 2490 miles from home after 14 hours of driving.
<h3>What is the function in this problem?</h3>
The distance that the family is from home, after t hours of driving, is given by:
D(t) = 3260 - 55t.
Then, after 12 hours, the distance is given by D(12), that is:
D(12) = 3260 - 55 x 12 = 2600.
D(12) = 2600, which means that after 12 hours of driving, the family is 2600 miles from home.
D(t)=2490, hence:
3260 - 55t = 2490
55t = 770
t = 770/55
t = 14
D(t) = 2490 when t = 14, which means that the family is 2490 miles from home after 14 hours of driving.
