Question 1202202
.
A construction crew is lengthening a road that originally measured 52 miles. The crew is adding one mile 
to the road each day. The length, L(in miles), after D days of construction is given by the following 
function L(d)=52+b. What is the length of the road after 36 days
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



            The function in your post is written incorrectly.


            A correct writing is    L(D) = 52 + D,   where  D  is the number of working days.



<pre>
To get the answer, simply substitute 36 instead of D into the formula 

    L(36) = 52 + 36 = 88 miles.    <U>ANSWER</U>

Solved.

This problem is extremely simple, &nbsp;but is written with a lot of pathos.


When there are so much pathos, &nbsp;it imposes some obligations: 
at least, &nbsp;the text &nbsp;(including the formulas) &nbsp;should be correct.
