An angler hooks a trout and begins turning her circular reel at 1.5 rev>s. Assume the radius of the reel (and the fishing line on it) is 2 inches. a. Let R equal the number of revolutions the angler has turned her reel and suppose L is the amount of line that she has reeled in. Find an equation for L as a function of R. b. How fast is she reeling in her fishing line?
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
