Sam is rowing a boat away from a dock. the graph shows the relationship between time and Sam's distance from the dock. evaluate the function for an input of 3. A. after 3 minutes, Sam is 3 meter from the dock.

B. after 40 minutes, Sam is 40 meters from the dock.

C. after 40 minutes, Sam is 3 meters from the dock.

D. after 3 minutes, Sam is 40 meters from the dock.

D. after 3 minutes, Sam is 40 meters from the dock.

Explanation:

For an input of 3, the function will produce a value of 40. That is in 3 minutes, the boat would have covered a distance of 40meters.

We can solve this problem using the given graph.

We know that this is a distance - time graph. The slope of this graph gives the value of the speed of the boat.

So, in 3 minutes, Sam will row a distance of 40m.
