The following function gives the total cost of a water bill dependent on the amount of time (t) in hours that the water runs.
A. What does C(t) represent in the context of this problem?
B. What does t = 5 represent in the context of this problem?
C. What does C(5) mean in the context of this problem?
D. Does finding C(-2) make sense in the context of this proble
A. C(t) represents the total cost of the water bill as a function of the amount of time (t) in hours that the water runs.
B. t = 5 represents running the water for 5 hours.
C. C(5) means finding the total cost of the water bill after running the water for 5 hours.
D. Finding C(-2) does not make sense in this context because time (t) in this problem cannot be negative. The water bill cannot be calculated for a negative amount of time.
