A 17-inch candle is lit and burns at a constant rate of 1.3 inches per hour. Let t represent the number of hours since the candle was lit, and suppose f is a function such that f ( t ) represents the remaining length of the candle (in inches) t hours after it was lit. Write a function formula for f . f ( t )

Since the lyla deleted it actually for a good reason let me explain. But you dont just delete random answers, you can give a comment. I can report you for doing that.

So since it burns at 1.3 per hour. Notice that since it gets removed per hour. so it would be 1.3t so it multiplies per hour. Then we need to subtract. Thats because it lowers the length of the candle. So we get the original length - 17 and get the function

f(t) = 17-1.3t
