Problema Solution
On a bicycle, Amanda started 6 miles from her house, and rides 6 miles per hour away from her house.
Write an equation to model this situation (use m for miles and h for hours).
Answer provided by our tutors
let
v = 6 mph is the speed of Amanda
t = the time she travels in hours
f(t) the distance from her house as a function of the time t
At the beginning moment t = 0 hours she is 6 miles away from the house
t = 0 and f(0) = 6 miles
After t hours we have the following situation
f(t) = 6 + v*t
f(t) = 6 + 6*t
The equation f(t) = 6 + 6*t describes the travel of Amanda.
