Question

An icicle that is 12 mm long melts at a constant rate of 1.2 mm per minute. Let t represent the number of minutes since the icicle started melthing and suppose R is a function such that R(t) represents the remaining length of the icicle (in mm) t minutes after it started melting.

 

A.What is the domain of R−1 relative to this context? Enter your answer as an interval.

 

b.What is the range of R−1 relative to this context? Enter your answer as an interval.

 

c.Solve R(t)=6.6 for t

t=  

d.What does your solution in part (f) represent in this context? Select all that apply.

  • How long it takes for the icicle to melt completely.
  • How many minutes since the icicle started melting when it is 6.6 mm long.
  • The length of the icicle (in mm) 6.6 minutes after it started melting.
