Candle length question:

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: we have to solve this differential equation, first: \[\frac{{dh}}{{dt}} = - k\] where h is the height of your candle, and k is a coefficient

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

whats dh an dt

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

oh so d is the number themseleves

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

dh/dt is the first derivative of the height h of the candle with respect to the time t

OpenStudy (perl):

You can fit a line y = mx + b to the two data points: (2 hours, 10 inches) (3 hours , 8.5 inches) Here x is time, y is height of candle.

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

and k is a positive coefficient, or parameter
