Chapter 4.6, Problem 8P

Sound travels about 343 meters per second. The function $d(t)=343t$ gives the distance $d(t)$ in meters that sound travels in $t$ seconds. How far does sound travel in 8 seconds?

To determine

To find: distance of sound that travels in 8 seconds.

Answer to Problem 8P

Explanation of Solution

Given information: function $d\left(t\right)=343t$

Sounds travels about 343 meters per second.

The distance of sounds travels in 8 second,

  $\begin{array}{l}d\left(8\right)=343\left(8\right)\\ =2744\end{array}$

Therefore, the distance of sound that travels in 8 seconds is 2744 meters.
