Question

The linear function A(t)= 55t + 120 represents the amount, A, in Normans saving account where T represents time in weeks since he has been saving money for vacation what does a slope by 55 represent in the context of this scenario.

A. Norman will have saved enough to go on vacation after 55 weeks
B. Norman has been putting money into his savings account for five weeks
C. Norman has been deposing $55 each week into his savings account
D. Norman had $55 in his savings account before he started saving for a vacation

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

The reason it is C because if the answer was A, then the 55 would have to have been the T since the T represents time in weeks. If it was B, look at explanation for A. It is basically the same reason why. It is not D because if he already the 55 dollars in his savings then the 55 would have been the B of the equation which right now is 120. By process of elimination, your answer should be C. Also the fact that Norman was depositing 55 dollars EACH week is a big help.
