A plane travels 1940 miles in 4 hours Determine a linear mod

A plane travels 1940 miles in 4 hours. Determine a linear model that will predict the number of miles the plane can given interval of time. (Use t as your variable.) Use this model to predict the distance the plane will travel in 4 1/2 hours. mi

Solution

Distance travelled in 1 hour = 1940 / 4 = 485 miles

Distance travelled in \' t \' hours = 485 t miles

s(t) = 485 t

distance travelled in 9/2 hours = 485 x 9/2 = 2182 . 5 miles

Distance travelled in
