The function below gives the energy expended dependent on the number of minutes m spent running.
E(m) = 12(0.75)^m
Answer the following in complete sentences, being sure to put your answers into the context of the problem.
A. What does m = 20 represent in the context of this problem?
B. What does E(45) mean in the context of this problem
C. Does finding E(-10) make sense in the context of this problem?
A. In the context of this problem, m = 20 represents the number of minutes spent running.
B. In the context of this problem, E(45) represents the energy expended after running for 45 minutes.
C. Finding E(-10) does not make sense in the context of this problem because it would imply spending a negative amount of time running, which is not physically possible. Therefore, the concept of finding the energy expended for a negative amount of time is not applicable in this context.
