A fish 17 inches long has a top speed of s(17) A fish s(17) inches long has an average speed of 17 miles per hourExplanation / Answer
Hi!
Answer 1) : If p(t) is the profit after t years, then p(1) is the profit 1 year after opening the business, p(5) is the profit 5 years after opening the business and so on.
Now our t = 5 years and 8 months = 5 years + 8 months.
8 months = 8/12th of a year ; 8/12 = 0.667
So t = 5 years + 0.667 years = 5.667 years. Since the question says to round up to two decimal places, 0.667 should be rounded up to 0.67.
Therefore, t = 5 + 0.67 = 5.67.
FINAL ANSWER = p( 5.67 )
Answer 2 : If s(L) is the top speed of a fish that is L inches long, then s(1) is the top speed of a fish that is 1 inch long and s(2) is the top speed of a fish that is 2 inches long and so on.
Similarly, s(17) is the top speed of a fish that is 17 inches long, which can be reframed as - a fish 17 inches long has a top speed of s(17), which is Option (C).
FINAL ANSWER : Option (C).
Cheers!
