Answer:
Part A: 1. (1, 0.5) 2. (2, 1) 3. (3, 1.5) 4. (4, 2) 5. (5, 2.5) 6. (6, 3)
Part B: Yes, this relation is in fact a function.
Part C: No, it would not be a function.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: Well, you start at 1 hr. right? yes. So then, at the very beginning at the problem, it says the candle burns at the rate of 0.5 in. per hour. So for 1 hour, the candle will burn .5 inches. At 2 hours, it will burn off 1 whole inch.
Part B: 1 hr. = .5 in. burn, 2 hrs. = 1 in. burns, 3 hrs. = 1.5 in. burns, 4 hrs. = 2 in. burns, 5 hrs.= 2.5 in. burns, 6 hrs. = 3 in. burns.
Part C: 1 hr.= .45 in. burn, 2 hrs. = .9 in burn, 3 hrs. = 1.35 in. burns, 4 hrs. = 1.8 in. burns, 5 hrs. = 2.25 in. burns, 6 hrs. = 2.7 in. burns. It does not go at a constant rate. The number of inches are all over the place.
Hope this helps you out!! (:
