To calculate the distance that light travels in 44 seconds, we simply plug t = 44 seconds into the function d(t) = 186,000t.
d(44) = 186,000 * 44
Now, we calculate the product:
d(44) = 8,184,000 miles
So, light travels 8,184,000 miles in 44 seconds.
Light
travels about 186 comma 000
mi divided by s
.
The function d left parenthesis t right parenthesis equals 186 comma 000 t
gives the distance d(t), in miles
,
that light
travels in t seconds. How far does light
travel in 44
s?
