Diep buys a loaf of bread 65 centimeters long. For lunch every afternoon, he cuts 15 centimeters of bread for his sandwich. Diep wants to determine the length of the loaf of bread, l, after d days. What is the equation of the scenario? Is the graph of the equation continuous or discrete? l = 65 – 15d; discrete l = 65 – 15d; continuous 65 = l – 15d; discrete 65 = l – 15d; continuous
does it show a graph?
no :(
ok, so if you want to know how much after "I" days, we will start with I=___ - _____ so we start with 65 centimeters and he cuts 15 per day, we will end up with I= 65 - 15d. Next, we need to know if the graph is discrete or continuous. A continuous graph will have its points connected by a straight line. Since we are decreasing by 15 every time, our points on the graph will be connected by a straight line. Therefore, our answer is going to be the second option.
