During the cold winter months, a sheet of ice covers a lake near the Arctic Circle. At the beginning of spring, the ice starts to melt. The variable sss models the ice sheet's thickness (in meters) ttt weeks after the beginning of spring. s=-0.25t+4s=−0.25t+4s, equals, minus, 0, point, 25, t, plus, 4 By how much does the ice sheet's thickness decrease every 666 weeks? meters

The ice sheet's thickness decrease every 6 weeks= 1.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven: At the beginning of spring, the ice starts to melt. The variable sss models the ice sheet's thickness (in meters) t weeks after the beginning of spring.

At t=0,

So, Thickness of ice sheet at the beginning = 4 meters

Now at t= 6, we get

Thickness of ice sheet after 6 weeks = 2.5 meters

Decrease in thickness = 4 meters - 2.5 meters = 1.5 meters

Hence, the ice sheet's thickness decrease every 6 weeks= 1.5 meters
