Question

As part of an Earth Science project, Erin tracked the amount of rain fall for 4 weeks. She started tracking after finding some initial data on the year's rainfall to date.. . . WeekRainfall. 15.5. 28. 310.5. 413. . If the linear function representing the amount of rainfall each week is f(w) = 2.5w + 3. What does the 3 represent in this function?.

Answer 1

The amount of rainfall in week 0

Step-by-step explanation:

because, 3 is the y-intercept, and w stands for the week it is.

If w =0 , as in it is week 0 (before she collected data) then you substitue 0 into the equation for w you get 3. That means even before she collected data there were already 3 inches of rain. So, the answer should be 1.

Answer 2

The 3 that represent in this function is the "A. The amount of rainfall in week 0." zero weeks have passed, and there's already up to the 3 mark. if additional rain comes into the bin, the existing water is still thereso we add +3 every time
These are the following choices:
A. The amount of rainfall in week 0.
B. The week that Erin collected data.
C. The amount of total rainfall.
D. The amount the rainfall increased each week
