Answer:
(a)r=15-b
11.9 Inches
(b)See attached
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of the candle =15 inch
Let b represent the burned length of the candle (in inches)
Let r represent the remaining length of the candle (in inches).
Therefore:
(a) r+b=15
r=15-b
When b=3,1 Inches
Remaining Length, r=15-3.1=11.9 Inches
(b)The graph showing te relationship between r and b is shown below.
r is plotted on the y-axis while b is plotted on the x-axis as labelled.
Formula that express r in terms of b is
[tex]r=15-b[/tex]
Remaining length of candle is 11.9 inches
Given :
A 15-inch candle is lit and steadily burns until it is burned out
Let b represent the burned length and let r represent the remaining length
We need to write the formula
remaining length = initial length - burned length
[tex]r=15-b[/tex]
When 3.1 inches have burned from the candle, the remaining length of the candle is inches.
b is 3.1
remaining length [tex]r=15-3.1=11.9[/tex] inches
now we graph the relationship
Graph is attached below.
