Question

The distance a boy travels while hiking is a function of how fast he hikes and how long he hikes at this rate. The boy usually maintains a speed of miles per hour while hiking. Let t represent the input variable. Let h represent the​ function, and ​h(t)t the output variable. Evaluate and write a sentence describing its meaning. Write the result as an ordered pair.

Answer 1

h(t)=3t

,where h(t) represents the distance we travel while hiking in time t which is the dependent variable.

Explanation:

The distance we travel while hiking is a function of how fast we hike and how long we hike at this rate.

The maintained speed while hiking= 3 miles per hour

If t represent the time of hiking which is independent variable, and h(t) represents the distance we travel while hiking which is dependent variable.

Then, h(t)=3th(t)=3t

Answer 2

The distance you travel while hiking is a function of how fast you hike and how long you hike at this rate. You usually maintain a speed of three miles per hour while hiking.
