Question

There is 18 inches of snow on the ground. Snow is falling at a rate of 4 inches per hour. Write a function to represent the total amount of snow.

Answer 1

`f(x) = 4x + 18`

Explanation:

Since there are 18 inches of snow already, 18 is our constant term in the function. Then, we describe x to be the number of hours that it snows for. We multiply this by 4 to find how many inches of snow fell during those hours. We add this term to the constant term to get the solution to y or
`f(x)`
