If p(t) is the profit I expect my business to earn t years after opening, use functional notation to express my expected profit after 4 years and 4 months. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
4y 4m = 4 1/3 years, so you want
p(13/3)
no idea how much that actually is, but if you have the formula, just plug in t=13/3
To express the expected profit after 4 years and 4 months using functional notation, we can start by breaking down the time frame into years and months.
4 years and 4 months is equivalent to 4 + 4/12 = 4.33 years (since there are 12 months in 1 year).
Now, we can use functional notation by substituting the value of t into the function p(t). In this case, we substitute t = 4.33 into p(t) to find the expected profit after 4 years and 4 months.
Therefore, the functional notation to express the expected profit after 4 years and 4 months is p(4.33).
Note that the given functional notation alone doesn't provide us with the actual value of p(4.33). It represents a way of expressing the expected profit after the given time, but we would need additional information or a specific function p(t) to calculate the value.
