A lake near the Arctic Circle is covered by a h-meter-thick sheet of ice during the cold winter months. When spring arrives, the warm air gradually melts the ice, causing its thickness to decrease at a constant rate. After t weeks, the sheet is only d meters thick. Let T represent the ice sheet's thickness (in meters) after t weeks. Complete the equation for the relationship between the thickness and number of weeks.
Q. A lake near the Arctic Circle is covered by a h-meter-thick sheet of ice during the cold winter months. When spring arrives, the warm air gradually melts the ice, causing its thickness to decrease at a constant rate. After t weeks, the sheet is only d meters thick. Let T represent the ice sheet's thickness (in meters) after t weeks. Complete the equation for the relationship between the thickness and number of weeks.
Identify initial thickness: First, we need to identify the initial thickness of the ice sheet and how much it has decreased after a certain number of weeks. However, the problem statement is missing specific numerical values for the initial thickness, the thickness after a certain number of weeks, and the number of weeks that have passed. Without these values, we cannot calculate the rate of decrease or complete the equation.
