Writing linear functions word problems;


A lake near the Arctic Circle is covered by a thick sheet of ice during the cold winter months. When spring arrives, the warm air gradually melts the ice, causing its thickness to decrease at a rate of 0.2, meters per week. After 7 weeks, the sheet is only 2.4, meters thick.
Let S represent the ice sheet's thickness (in meters) after t weeks.
Complete the equation for the relationship between the thickness and number of weeks.
S=

Answer 1

A lake near the Arctic Circle is covered by a 222-meter-thick sheet of ice during the cold winter months. When spring arrives, the warm air gradually melts the ice, causing its thickness to decrease at a constant rate. After 333weeks, the sheet is only 1.251.251, point, 25 meters thick.
