Sagot :
The time taken for the candle to burn down to a height of 1.3 inches is 4.5 hours
What is a Linear Function ?
A linear function is what can be written in the form of
y =mx+c
The rate at which the candle is burning is 0.6 inches/ hour
The initial height is 4 inches at t=0
The straight line equation can be written for this as
y =mx +c
as m = -0.6
at x = 0 , y = 4 therefore c =4
y = -0.6x +4
The time at which y = 1.3 inches is
1.3 = -0.6x +4
-2.7 = -0.6 x
x =4.5
4.5 hours is the time taken for the candle to burn down to a height of 1.3 inches.
