Answer:
s(t) = 2.35t and distance covered in 5 minutes = 11.75 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
A snail travels at a rate of 2.35 feet per minute.
We have to write a rule to describe the function.
If a snail covers the distance of 2.35 feet in a minute then in t minutes distance traveled by the snail will be = 2.35×(t) feet
Now if we define the distance as a function then function will be
S(t) = 2.35(t)
and distance covered by the snail in 5 minutes will be
Distance = 2.35×5 = 11.75 feet
Therefore the function is S(t) = 2.35t and distance covered in 5 minutes is 11.75 feet.
