Answer:
<em>m=1.7</em>
<em>C=68 gr</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Function Modeling</u>
We are given a relationship between the carbohydrates used by a professional tennis player during a strenuous workout and the time in minutes as 1.7 grams per minute. Being C the carbohydrates in grams and t the time in minutes, the model is
The slope m of the line is the coefficient of the independent variable, thus m=1.7
The graph of C vs t is shown in the image below.
To find how many carbohydrates the athlete would use in t=40 min, we plug in the value into the equation
