1. Imagine you are at a gas station filling your tank with gas. The function C(g) represents the cost C of filling up the gas tank with g gallons. Given the equation

a. What does the number 3.03 represent?

What equation?

To understand what the number 3.03 represents in the equation, we need to take a look at the given equation. Unfortunately, the equation itself is missing from your question, so I cannot provide a specific answer without it. However, I can help explain how you can identify the meaning of a number in an equation.

In general, when looking at a mathematical equation, the number in front of a variable represents the coefficient of that variable. For example, if the equation is C(g) = 3.03g, the number 3.03 would be the coefficient of the variable g. In this case, it would indicate the cost per gallon of gas.

By multiplying the number of gallons, g, with the coefficient, 3.03, you would get the total cost, C, of filling up the gas tank with g gallons.

Please provide the full equation if you would like a more specific answer.
