Answer:
The question is not detailed enough as the expression of the distance as a function of time is missing.
Step-by-step explanation:
But we can still assume an expression for the distance as a function of the time in seconds.
- Say F (distance) = xt + y
- This implies that for every value of the distance, you substitute the value given for time.
- Generate a simultaneous equation with two unknowns by getting the constants (x and y)
- Then go back and plug it in the original equation and start the substitution.
- Similarly for Cost C as a function of the number of apples bought, the same approach will be used to generate the general equation linking the two terms together.
a) 8) = 4.50 implies the time in seconds as against the distance of the dog from the post.
b) C(2) - This expression represents the cost of two apples, ere the number of apples is known
