Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Jen and Ariel are reading a 400 page novel for their literature class.
Jen decides to read 100 pages the first day and 50 pages thereafter.
Hence if y represents no of pages and x no of days read, we have equation as
[tex]y=50x+100, x=0,1,2,3,4,5,6[/tex]
Ariel’s progress on reading the book is represented by the linear function [tex]y=40x+80[/tex], where is y is the total number of pages read after x days
REading rate per day = slope = coefficient of x
Hence we have rate is 50 for Jen and 40 for Ariel.
i.e. Jen reads 10 pages more daily than Ariel.
