Mr. Mole and Bugs Bunny started digging their way into the ground from different locations at the same time. They each dug at a constant rate.
The following equation gives Mr. Mole's altitude (in meters relative to the ground) as a function of time (in minutes). A = -4-0.6t
Bugs Bunny's altitude (in meters relative to the ground) as a function of time (in minutes) is given by the following table of values:

Time (Minutes) Altitude (Meters)
2 -1.6
9 -7.2
16 -12.8

Who dug faster?
A) Mr. Mole
B) Bugs Bunny
C) They both dug at the same rate

Who started at a higher altitude?
A) Mr. Mole
B) Bugs Bunny
C) They both started at the same altitude

Respuesta :

Answer:

Bugs bunny did both

Step-by-step explanation:

B

Bugs bunny has the faster digging rate and Bugs bunny started at a higher altitude. 1. Option B is correct. 2. Option A is correct.

What is arithmetic?

In mathematics, it deals with numbers of operations according to the statements.

What are functions?

Functions are the relationship between sets of values. e g y=f(x), for every value of x there is its exists in a set of y. x is the independent variable while Y is the dependent variable.

Here,
Part 1
The rate of digging of Mr. Mole is = -0.6
The rate of digging of Bugs bunny is = (-7.2 + 1.6)/ (9 - 2) = -0.8.
Implies bug bunny has a higher digging rate.


Part 2
Expression for Mr. Mole digging = A = -0.6t-4.
Expression for bugs bunny  A = -0.8t
comparing the expression, Expression for Mr. Mole has contains a negative intercept. This implies Bugs bunny is at a higher altitude than Mr. mole

Thus, Bugs bunny has the faster digging rate and Bugs bunny started at a higher altitude. 1. Option B is correct. 2. Option A is correct.
