Answer:
The answer is v = 1.2s
Step-by-step explanation:
The table shows the relationship between time (s) and distance traveled (v) so it represents a function, a math expression where for each specific value of an independent variable ( in this case time) you obtain a unique value or dependent variable (distance in this case).
As time increases, distance travelled increases in a constant proportion equal to:
2.4 - 1.2 = 1.2
3.6- 2.4 = 1,2
As you see, each second that passes the distance increases by a constant factor of 1.2. This type of fucntion is called a linear function whic has the form
y= mx +b
where m is the constant factor and b the value that y takes when x= 0. In this case x and y are:
V = ms
because at time zero s = 0 disntaced travelled is v=0. So replacing the constant factor 1.2 as m we have
v = 1.2s
