This function is a hyperbola. It graphs out two disjoint curves. A linear function produces a single straight line graph. All linear functions can be written in the form y = mx+b. The x being in the denominator is one indicator we cannot write the original equation in the form y = mx+b.

y = 3/x is the same as xy = 3; this tells us every point on y = 3/x has its (x,y) coordinate pair multiply to 3.

Record for Boston Marathon's wheelchair division is 1 hour, 18 minutes, and 27 seconds.

1 hr 18 minutes and 27 seconds hmmm

there are 60 minutes in 1 hr, thus 18 minutes is 18/60 hrs or 0.3hr.

so 1hr 18min is 1.3 hrs

there are 60 seconds in 1 minute and 60 minutes in 1 hr, thus 60*60 seconds in 1hr, or 3600 seconds, so, 27 seconds is just 27/3600 hrs, or 0.0075 hrs.

so, 1.3 hr or 1.3000 hr for that matter plus 0.0075, is just 1.3075 hrs.

a)

so, they covered 26.2 miles in 1.3075 hrs, so the average speed is just 26.2/1.3075, or about 20.0382409177 miles/hr

b)

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
miles&hrs\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
26.2&1.3075\\
30&h
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{26.2}{30}=\cfrac{1.3075}{h}\implies h=\cfrac{1.3075\cdot 30}{26.2}$
