Question

People start waiting in line for the release of the newest cell phone at 5\text{ a.m.}5 a.m.5, start text, space, a, point, m, point, end text The equation above gives the number of people, PPP, in line between the hours, hhh, of 6\text{ a.m.}6 a.m.6, start text, space, a, point, m, point, end text and 11\text{ a.m.}11 a.m.11, start text, space, a, point, m, point, end text, when the doors open. Assume that 6\text{ a.m.}6 a.m.6, start text, space, a, point, m, point, end text is when time h = 1h=1h, equals, 1. What does the 232323 mean in the equation above?

Answer 1

There are 23 people in line at 6:00 A.M

Explanation:

When you plug in h=1, we get 23 people

h corresponds with the time 6:00 am, as a result there are 23 people in line

The equation represents how many people will come as the hour increases.

23 represents the initial amount of people in line.
