For this case we want to find a function of the form
s = f (d)

Where:

s: Represents the number of seconds

d: Represents the number of days

So:

By definition we know that 1 hour has 3600 seconds, to know the amount of seconds in a day, we make a rule of three:

1h ------------> 3600s

24h ----------> x

Where "x" represents the number of seconds in a day.


x = \frac {24 * 3600} {1}\\x = 86400 \ s

So, in one day there are 86400 seconds.

Then, the function is as follows:


f (d) = 86400 * d\\s = f (d) = 86400 * d

Answer:


s=86400 * d
