Question

The table show the distance traveled over a certain amount of time. What is the value of a that will result in a constant rate of change?Time(hours) Distance(Miles)3 ...2135 ..a8 ........568

Answer 1

Since it says it increases at a constant rate of change, we can use proportional relationships to solve this problem:

`\begin{gathered} (213)/(3)=(a)/(5) \\ 213*5=3a \\ 1065=3a \\ a=(1065)/(3)=355 \end{gathered}`
