Part 1 - Communication problems:
Question 1:
a) An airplane needs to travel 400 km. Determine a function for the speed of the airplane, with
respect to time.
Distance travelled by plane = 400km
Let D be distance in km
Let t be time in hours
Let s be speed in km/h
𝑑 400
s(t)= 𝑡 = 𝑡
b) An ice cream cone is left sitting in the hot sun. Sarah notices that the ice cream melts and
loses half of its volume every 5 minutes. If the starting volume was 125 mL, determine a
function for the volume, with respect to the amount of time left out in the sun.
Volume of icecream cone = 125 ml
Let v be volume in ml
Let t be time in minutes
𝑡
v(t)=125 (2) 5
c) Scott wants to calculate the distance from his house to each of his friends' houses. If he drives
at 50 km/h, find a function for the distance, with respect to the number of hours it takes to travel.
Speed of Scott is 50km/h
Let s be speed in km/h
Let d be distance in km
Let t be time in hours
d(t) = 50(t)
