Question
1. The function \( g \) relates the distance that the tip of the minute hand travels in one minute to the length of the minute hand, \( x \). \[ g(x) = \frac{\pi}{30} x \] This equation demonstrates how the length of the minute hand is proportional to the distance traveled by its tip in one minute. The factor \(\frac{\pi}{30}\) converts the length of the minute hand into the arc length covered in one minute on a clock face.

Expert Solution
Step 1

This is a problem of application of mathematics. Here length function is given for minute hand which travels in the one minute.

Here we will plot the graph of the distance travelled versus length of the minute hand.

Function is,

g(x) = Pi/30 * x
