Answer 2

A candle burns down at the rate of 0.5 inches per hour. The original height of the candle was 9 inches.

Part A: Write a list of 6 ordered pairs to show the height of the candle in inches (y) as a function of time in hours (x) from the first hour after it started burning. For example, the point (0, 9) would represent a height of 9 inches after 0 hours. Explain how you obtained the ordered pairs. (5 points)

Part B: Is this relation a function? Justify your answer using the list of ordered pairs you created in Part A. (2 points)

Part C: If the rate at which the candle burned was 0.45 inches per hour instead of 0.5 inches per hour, would the relation be a function? Explain your answer using input and output values. (3 points)

Answer 3

?

Answer 4

Part A; (0,9) 9 inches after 0 seconds,(2,8) 8 inches after 2 seconds,(4,7) 7 inches after 4 seconds,(6,6) 6 inches after 6 seconds (8,5) 5 inches after 8 seconds (10,4) 4 inches after 10 seconds (12,3) 3 inches after 12 seconds.
The equation to find the ordered pairs in y= -0.5x +9

Answer 5

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

well what is it?

Answer 8

is it this:

Part A; (0,9) 9 inches after 0 seconds,(2,8) 8 inches after 2 seconds,(4,7) 7 inches after 4 seconds,(6,6) 6 inches after 6 seconds (8,5) 5 inches after 8 seconds (10,4) 4 inches after 10 seconds (12,3) 3 inches after 12 seconds.
The equation to find the ordered pairs in y= -0.5x +9

Answer 9

Part B; yes the relation is a function, non of the x values repeat.

Answer 10

ok and part c?

Answer 11

Yes that is part a, and that is part b.

Answer 12

ok! and part c?

Answer 13

Part C; Yes the relation would still be a function because the values would never repeat as long as they have a constant rate of change. (0,9)(1,8.5)... and so on.
