The water level, w, in feet, of a river after a rainstorm is a function of the time, t, in hours, since the storm began. The table below shows the water level readings collected at different times. Hours Since Storm Began (t) Water Level (w) 1 18.7 1.5 19.1 2 19.5 Write a linear function that models the data in the table. w(t) [blank]​

Abucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. the paint flow can be expressed with the function p(t) = 6(t), where t represents time in minutes and p represents how far the paint is spreading. the flowing paint is creating a circular pattern on the tile. the area of the pattern can be expressed as a(p) = 3.14(p)^2 part a: find the area of the circle of spilled paint as a function of time, or a[p(t)]. show your work. part b: how large is the area of spilled paint after 8 minutes? you may use 3.14 to approximate pi in this problem.
