in the equation C(g)= 3.03(g) what does the 3.03 represent?
If (g) means grams, 3.03 is the number of grams of C; That is an uncommon way to write an equation. It might mean something else too
The whole question is,"suppose you were at a gas station filling your tank with gas. The function C(g) represents the cost C of filling up the tank with g gallons. Given the equation C(g)=3.03g, what does the 3.03 represent?"
3.03 represents the price per gallon. (Ahh.. The good old days)
When you wrote 3.03(g), the g in parentheses was confusing. It is better to write the cost as just 3.03 g, as you did the second time
thank you so much!!
In the equation C(g) = 3.03(g), the number 3.03 represents the constant or coefficient that is multiplied by the variable g. Specifically, it indicates the rate or proportion at which C(g) changes or grows for each unit increase in g.
To understand what 3.03 represents in this equation, you can look at the equation in a general form: C(g) = k(g), where k is the constant or coefficient. In this case, k is equal to 3.03.
To find the value of k, you would need additional information. The value of k could be determined through various means, such as experimentation, data analysis, or mathematical calculations based on certain conditions or assumptions.
