Question

You sunk my battleship...The hms petticoat and uss junction are being monitored on a tracking screen where each ship is measured in millimeters from the lower left corner. The linear path of the hms petticoat is given by y=2x+50. If x=3t, express y as a function of t minutes

Answer 1

y = f(t) = 6t + 50

Explanation:

Given:

y = 2x + 50

Where,

x = 3t

Substitute x = 3t into the equation

y = 2x + 50

y = 2(3t) + 50

Open parenthesis

y = 6t + 50

y = f(t) = 6t + 50
