A student and the marine biologist are together at t = 0. The student ascends more slowly than the m
A student and the marine biologist are together at t = 0. The student ascends more slowly than the marine biologist. Write an equation of a function that could represent the student's ascent. Please keep in mind the slope for the marine biologist is 12. Slope means rise over run. In this case, rise is the ascent distance and run is the time. 12 = 12/1, so for each second of time, the marine biologist ascends 12 units of distance If the student ascends slower, than the total distance gets reduced by an unknown factor, let's call it c. So we have the student's ascent function as: [B]y(t) = 12t - c[/B]

Natalie made a deal with a farmer. She agreed to work for an entire year and in return, the farmer would give her $10,200 plus a prize pig. After working for 5 months, Natalie decided to quit. The farmer determined that 5 months of work was equal to $3375 plus the pig. How much money was the pig worth? The value of a year's work is $10,200 plus a pig of unknown value. The farmer took away $6825 because Natalie worked 5 months. If Natalie worked 7 more months, she would have been paid the additional $6825. 6825/7 months work = $975 per month A full year's work is $975 * 12 = $11,700 Pig value = Full years work - payout Pig value = 11,700 - 10,200 Pig value = [B]1,500[/B]
