Question

The commercial jet that travels from Miami to New York averages about 300 mi/h. The air distance fromMiami to New York is 1092 miles. Write a function to represent the distance d remaining on the trip thours after takeoff.

Answer 1

`d=1092-300t`

1) We can write the following as a function to describe this distance remaining.

2) As time goes by the distance between Miami and NY decreases. So, we can write a decreasing linear function for that. Note that at t=0 there are 1092 miles between them.

3) Thus, the answer is:

`d=1092-300t`
