Spacecraft in 1997, the Pathfinder spacecraft landed on Mars. It contained a robotic vehicle named Sojourner that could roam up to 500 meters from the lander. The distance d (in meters) that Sojourner could travel in t hours is given by. How long would it take Sojourner to reach its maximum distance from the lander?
1. Copy and complete the table using the given equation
0 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 | 30 | |
? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? | ? |
2. Use your completed table to graph .
3. Find the point on the graph whose d-coordinate is 500, and estimate the t-coordinate of this point. How much time would it take Sojourner to reach its maximum distance from the lander?
Copy and complete using always, sometimes, or never: A relation is ? a function.
