Question

Researchers in Antarctica discovered a warm sea current under a glacier that is causing the glacier to melt. The ice shelf of the glacier had a thickness of approximately 450 m when it was first discovered. The thickness of the ice shelf is decreasing at an average rate of 0.06 m per day.Which function can be used to find the thickness of the ice shelf in meters x days since the discovery?

Answer 1

x represents days passed

so the function to find thickness of ice shelf will be :-

450 - (0.06 × X) [ 0.06 multiplied by X ]
