Unit 5 Lesson 9 Block 3

i think it would be at 1 and it could be a negativit slope

I think that the candle will stop burning at 1

No b/c if the candle starts burning at 12 and in a hour it has 10 so we will take away 2 each time it changes

Jonnath Campbell

I think aftewr 4.5 hours, it will burn out completely

No b/c at first it would be minus two each time

I would say around 7 to 9 hours

It is a funcion

Jahmir

No, since its should decrease by 2 each time

A. it will melt at 4 hours

B. no it is not a function

Amarni

it is not a function. becuase it shows every 1 hr the candle goes down by 2 inches but they dont follow that for 3 hours.

After 3 hours it should be at 4

Lamech Scott

I think it would be 4 hours until the candle burns out.

No, it is not a function of time because it is taking away to 2 inches each time after 1 hour.

Ashley Morocho

I think when it hits the 5 hour mark it would burn out completely.

yes the height of a candle is a function of time because it changes when time passes.

Luz Mestiza

A. I believe after 4.5 hours, it will be completely burnt out.

B. No b/c at first it would be minus two each time because 12-2 = 10.

Dominic Ngqondo

At 1

B. Yes it because it could be a negative slope.

I think after 4.5 hours, it will be completely burnt out.

No, if it starts at 12 and in a hour, it has 10, it should be minus 2 each time. It changes.
