(4 points) The following function gives the total cost of a water bill dependent on the amount of time (t) in hours that the water runs. C(t)=3(0.24)t A. What does C(t) represent in the context of this problem? B. What does t = 7 represent in the context of this problem? C. What does C(7) mean in the context of this problem? D. Does finding C(-4) make sense in the context of this problem?

1 answer

A. In the context of this problem, C(t) represents the total cost of the water bill.

B. In the context of this problem, t = 7 represents the amount of time in hours that the water runs.

C. In the context of this problem, C(7) means finding the total cost of the water bill when the water runs for 7 hours.

D. No, finding C(-4) does not make sense in the context of this problem. Time cannot be negative in this scenario, as it represents the amount of time the water runs, which cannot be negative.
