Ronald walks from home to Taco Bell to eat everyday. It takes him 30 minutes to walk the 2 mile distance. A) write a function for Ronald’s wall. Let x be the number of minutes he walks.
B) what should the domain of the function be?

Respuesta :

a) We know that 

[tex]d=vt[/tex]

where d[tex]y= \frac{1}{15}x [/tex]= distance,
v = velocity,
t = time

In this case, d = 2 mi., t = 30 min. So we get

[tex]2=30v[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 30, we get

[tex]v= \frac{2}{30}= \frac{1}{15} [/tex]

Thus a function for his walk would be 

[tex]y= \frac{1}{15} x[/tex]
where y = distance and x = number of minutes he walks.

b) Domain of a function is a set of x-values on which the function defined. In this case, the number of minutes is 30 at maximum. So the domain of the function is [0, 30].
