The distance away from the city of Bloomsfield is a function of time. The function D(h) = 440 − 65h represents the distance in miles away from Bloomsfield as you travel toward the city, based on the number of hours, h , you have traveled. Find the distance left to get to Bloomsfield after 312 hours of traveling. Enter your response in decimal form.

To find the distance left to get to Bloomsfield after 312 hours of traveling using the given function \( D(h) = 440 - 65h \), we can substitute \( h = 312 \) into the function.

\[ D(312) = 440 - 65 \times 312 \]

Now, we calculate \( 65 \times 312 \):

\[ 65 \times 312 = 20280 \]

Next, we substitute this value back into the distance function:

\[ D(312) = 440 - 20280 \]

Now calculate \( 440 - 20280 \):

\[ D(312) = 440 - 20280 = -19840 \]

Therefore, the distance left to get to Bloomsfield after 312 hours of traveling is

\[ \boxed{-19840} \]

This negative result indicates that the distance traveled exceeds the starting distance to Bloomsfield, meaning that after 312 hours, you would have traveled past Bloomsfield by 19840 miles.
