QuestionLuke is driving home from work. Let $D(t)$ stand for Luke's remaining distance to drive $D$ (measured in Miles) after $t$ minutes of driving. What does $D(0)=10$ mean?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. $D(t)$ is a function representing the remaining distance for Luke to drive after $t$ minutes.
2. $D(t)$ depends on the time $t$ in minutes.
3. $D(0)$ represents the remaining distance to drive when $t$ is equal to 0 minutes.

STEP 2

1. Understand the meaning of $D(0)$ in the context of the problem.
2. Interpret the value $D(0) = 10$ .

STEP 3

Understand the meaning of $D(0)$ in the context of the problem.
$D(0)$ represents the remaining distance to drive at $t = 0$ minutes, which is the initial time before Luke starts driving.

STEP 4

Interpret the value $D(0) = 10$ .
Given that $D(0) = 10$ , this means that at the initial time (when $t = 0$ minutes), Luke has 10 miles remaining to drive.
Therefore, the interpretation of $D(0) = 10$ is that at the start of Luke's drive, he has 10 miles left to reach his destination.
