It passes a lighthouse at noon. time = noon (a) Express the distance s between the lighthouse and the ship as a function of d, the distance the ship has traveled since noon; that is, find f so that s = f(d). 5 mi (b) Express d as a function of t, the time elapsed since noon; that is, find g so that d = g(t). (c) Find fog. What does this function represent? time = t FIGURE 5
