Water is flowing from a major broken water main at the intersection of two streets. The resulting puddle of water is circular and the radius r of the puddle is given by the equation r = 6t feet, where t represents time in seconds elapsed since the the main broke. When the main broke, a runner was located 5 miles from the intersection. The runner continues toward the intersection at the constant speed of 16 feet per second. When will the runner's feet get wet?
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.
