Mr. Mole and Bugs Bunny started digging their way into the ground from different locations at the same time. They each dug at a constant rate.
Mr. Mole's altitude (in meters relative to the ground) as a function of time (in minutes) is given by the following function:
A(t)=40.6tA(t) =-4-0.6t
Bugs Bunny's altitude (in meters relative to the ground) as a function of time (in minutes) is given by the following table of values:
Time\text{Time} (minutes)Altitude\text{Altitude} (meters)
221.6-1.6
997.2-7.2
161612.8-12.8
