the depth D, in inches, od wsnow in my yard t hours after it started snowing this morning is given by D=1.5t + 4. if the depth of the snow is 7 inches now, what will be the depth one hour from now?

The depth of the snow one hour from now is 8.5 inches.

Let D represent the depth of snow in inches at time t. It is given by the relationship:

D=1.5t + 4

Since  the depth of the snow is 7 inches now, hence, the time now is:

7 = 1.5t + 4

1.5t = 3

t = 2 hours

One hour from now, the time would be t = 2 + 1 = 3 hours. Hence the depth at this time is:

D = 1.5(3) + 4 = 8.5 inches

Therefore the depth of the snow one hour from now is 8.5 inches.

8.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's find the time t when the depth of the snow is 7 inches.

To do this, we just need to use the value of D = 7 then find the value of t:

We want to find the depth of snow one hour from now, so we just need to use the value of t = 3 to calculate D:

The depth of snow one hour from now will be 8.5 inches.
