A student is running a 3-kilometer race. He runs 1kilometer every 2minutes. Select the function that describes the distance from the finish line after xminutes

(0.5X) - 3 = Distance from the finish line

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a student is running a 3-kilometer race, and runs 1 kilometer every 2 minutes, to determine the function that describes the distance from the finish line after X minutes, the following calculation must be performed:

1 = kilometers for every 2 minutes

X = every number of minutes

1/2 = 0.5 = kilometers per minute

(0.5X) - 3 = Distance from the finish line

Thus, if the student runs for 4 minutes, the equation would operate as follows:

0.5 x 4 - 3 = X

2 - 3 = X

-1 = X

step-by-step explanation:

descending order means to order the polynomials from the term with the largest exponent to the term with the smallest exponent.  

therefore, the correct answer is d.  

a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d

the first term is 6.

the common difference d = ?

when you find d, replace n with 7 and d with the common difference to find your answer.
