Scientists are conducting an experiment with a gas in a

Scientists are conducting an experiment with a gas in a sealed container. The mass of the gas is measured, and the scientists realize that the gas is leaking at a constant rate of 9 grams per minute. Ten minutes after the experiment started, the gas in the container has a mass of 342 grams. Let a be the number of minutes that have passed since the experiment started, and let f(x) be the mass of the gas, in grams, at that moment. a. Write an equation for f: f(x) = b. 33 minutes after the experiment started, there would be__ grams of gas left. c. If a linear model continues to be accurate, __ minutes since the experimentstarted, all gas in the container will be gone.
