To find the distance sound travels in 8 seconds, we need to substitute t = 8 into the function d(t) = 343t.
d(8) = 343(8) = 2744
Therefore, sound travels 2744 meters in 8 seconds.
The correct answer is 2,744 meters.
To find the distance sound travels in 8 seconds, we can use the function d(t) = 343t.
Substitute t = 8 into the equation:
d(8) = 343 * 8
d(8) = 2744
Therefore, sound travels 2,744 meters in 8 seconds.
