Respuesta :
1.2 Inches, It moves 0.3 inches in 1 hour so if in 1 hour it moves 0.3 and in 2 0.6 and in 3 0.9 so in 4 hours it will move 1.2 inches
Answer:
The correct option is 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the glacier is moving at a rate of 0.3 inches every hour. It means the average rate of change is 0.3.
Let d is the total moved distance of glacier and t is number of hours. Then the total moved distance of glacier after t hours is defined as
[tex]d=0.3t[/tex]
At t=1,
[tex]d=0.3(1)=0.3[/tex]
At t=2,
[tex]d=0.3(2)=0.6[/tex]
At t=3,
[tex]d=0.3(3)=0.9[/tex]
At t=4,
[tex]d=0.3(4)=1.2[/tex]
Total moved distance of glacier after 4 hours is 1.2 inches.
The value of x is 1.2. Therefore the correct option is 1.
