A student rides his bike to school with an average velocity of 10 miles per hour. It takes him 12 minutes to get to school. Write a function that models the student's distance from home. Use t for time in hours and d for distance. Then identify the domain and range of this situation using interval notation--label each one!

Respuesta :

Answer:

The function is [tex]d=10t[/tex]

domain is 0 to 0.2 hour.

range is 0 to 2 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Average velocity = 10 miles/hour

Time = 12 min = 0.2 hour

We need to write a function that models the student's distance from home

Using formula of distance

[tex]d=v\times t[/tex]

Where, v = velocity

t = time

d = distance

Put the value into the formula

[tex]d=10t[/tex]

This is a function.

We know that,

Domain :

Domain shows the time.

So, domain = 0 to 0.2 hour

Range :

Range shows the distance.

The range at t =0,

Put the value of t in the function

[tex]d = 10\times0=0[/tex]

The range at t =0.2 hour

[tex]d = 10\times0=0[/tex]

[tex]d=2\ miles[/tex]

So. range = 0 to 2 miles

Hence, The function is [tex]d=10t[/tex]

domain is 0 to 0.2 hour

range is 0 to 2 miles
