A plane flying to Chicago begins its descent into O’Hare International airport. Once it starts, its height can be modeled by the equation h=-1200+33000, where h is its height in feet, and t is the time in minutes since it started its descent. What does the number 33000 represent in this situation?
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
