Question

Jackson is starting an exercise program.The first day he will spend 30 minute on a treadmill by 2 minutes each day.Write an equation for t(d),the time,in minutes,on the treadmill on day d

Answer 1

For the d day Jackson exercised for t(d)= 30 + 2d where d is the number of day.

t(d)= 30 + 2d

Explanation:

Let the total time on the treadmill be given by y each day and let x take the values of number of the days exercised . For the first day x= 0 and so on.

Therefore

For the first day Jackson exercised for 30 minutes

y= 30 + 2x

y= 30 + 2(0)

y= 30 minutes

For the second day Jackson exercised for (x=1) 32 minutes

y= 30 + 2x

y= 30 + 2(1)

y= 32 minutes

For the third day Jackson exercised for (x=2) 34 minutes

y= 30 + 2x

y= 30 + 2(2)

y= 34 minutes

For the fourth day Jackson exercised for (x=3) 36 minutes

y= 30 + 2x

y= 30 + 2(3)

y= 36 minutes

For the d day Jackson exercised for (x=d) 30 + 2d where d is the number of day.

y= 30 + 2x

y= 30 + 2(d)

y= 30 + 2d
