Snow is falling steadily in Syracuse, New York. After 2 hours, 4 inches of snow has fallen. Write an equation to represent the amount of snow that will fall after x amount of hours. Assume that the snowfall continues at a constant rate. How much snowfall could be expected in a 24 hour period if the snow continues to fall at a constant rate?
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.
