Respuesta :

f(n) = -1.2n + 38.1

Hence, for an additional race

the finishing time, f(n+1), is given

f(n+1) = -1.2(n+1) + 38.1 = -1.2n + 38.1 -1.2

Which implies that

f(n+1) = f(n) - 1.2

This implies that the finishing time decreases by 1.2minutes

The model predicts that for each additional race a runner has run, the finishing time decreases by about 1.2 minutes
