in 1920, the record for a certain race was 46.8 sec. in 1980, it was 45.6 sec. Let R(t)=the record in the race and t=the number of years since 1920. a) find a linear function that fits the data b) use that function to predict the record in 2003 and in 2006 c) find the year when the record will be 44...

imagine you are at a gas station filling your tank with gas. The function C(g) represents the cost C of filling up the gas tank with g gallons. Given the equation C(g)=3.03(g). a)what does the number 3.03 represent b) find C(2) c) find C(9) d) for the average motorist,name one value for g that would...

1) the linear equation y=0.15x+0.79 represents an estimate of the average cost of gas for year x starting in 1997. The year 1997 would be represented by x=1, for example, because it is the first year in the study. Similarly, 2005 would be year 9 or x=9 a)what year would be represented by x=4 b) what...

i am 65 years old and very familiar with gas tanks i did not post to to ridiculed i an simply trying to relearn algebra to help my niece to learn and pass her course i cannot afford a tutor for her
