Question

1. on a small volcanic island, lava is flowing at a rate of 800 meters per day and can be modeled by the function f(d) = 800d, where f(d) represents the distance from the source of the lava flow, and d represents the day of the flow. the value 800d in this context is best described as a. the rate of the lave flow on day 800 b. the rate of the lava flow on day d c. the distance from the source of the lava flow on day 800 d. the distance from the source of the lava flow on day d

Explanation:

The function $f(d)=800d$ models the distance from the source of the lava - flow, where $d$ is the number of days of the flow. So, $800d$ represents the distance from the source of the lava flow on day $d$.

Answer:

D. The distance from the source of the lava flow on day d
