The position of the ant as a function of time, t minutes, can be modeled with the equation
Notice that decreasing by of the distance means “keeping” of the distance.
Complete the table for various times. Round your answers to decimal places.
Time (minutes)
Position (inches)
Notice that even at the answer is small, but it is not zero.
In fact, there is no way to actually get to zero. No matter how much time goes by, of any non-zero number is always non-zero. The ant will never get to the wall!
