each candle stands for one day of the miracle of Hanukkah, except for the Shamash (9th candle) which is just a helper candle used to light the others.
To find the height of the candle over time, you can use the equation ( h(t) = 6 - 12t ), where ( h(t) ) is the height of the candle in inches and ( t ) is the time in hours. This equation reflects that the candle starts at 6 inches and decreases by 12 inches for each hour it burns. Keep in mind that the candle will completely burn out when ( h(t) = 0 ).
The answer depends on the equation!
the same amount of candle light that of wich the candle is emmiting.

The additional two branches represent the eight nights of Hanukkah, plus the shamash, or helper candle, which is used to light the others. This distinction highlights the miracle of the oil that lasted eight days, commemorating the rededication of the Second Temple. Thus, the nine branches serve a specific purpose in celebrating this important festival.
