document.write( "Question 976069:  The length, in feet, of a small train can be modeled by the function f(c) = 9c+14, where c is the number of passenger cars attached to the locomotive. The original passenger cars were replaced, and the length of the train is now modeled by the function h(c) = 12c+14.Based on this information, which statement describes the change in this situation?

| Algebra.Com's Answer #597713 by Boreal(15235)     You can put this solution on YOUR website! c has increased, and c is the variable. The constant is the only thing that doesn't change, didn't change, and has to be the locomotive.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If c increased, the length of the passenger cars increased, or D.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If the locomotive were 12 feet, the function would be 9c +12 \n" ); document.write( "If the locomotive were 9 feet, the function would be 10c \n" ); document.write( "If the passenger cars were 9 feet and the locomotive stayed the same, it would be the original function. \n" ); document.write( " |
