What does the statement m(10) = k mean?

A. Jayce's fee for his 10th drive is equal to k dollars.
B. Jayce's fees for his th drive and his 10th drive are equal.
C. Jayce's fee for his kth drive is equal to $10.

Answer 1

The statement m(10) = k indicates that the fee for Jayce's 10th taxi drive is k dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement m(10) = k means that Jayce's fee for his 10th drive on a certain day is equal to k dollars. In the context of the function m(n), the n represents the number of the drive, and m(n) gives us the fee for that specific drive. Therefore, when n is replaced with the number 10, m(10) represents the fee for the 10th drive, and since m(10) is equal to k, Jayce's 10th drive fee is k dollars
