Question

Let $c(t)$ be the number of customers in a restaurant $t$ hours after 8 A.M. Match each statement with its meaning.

Answer 1

Answer:

The meaning of each statement is shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the given statements are

(a) c(0)=0

(b) c(3)=c(8)

(c) c(n)=29

(d) c(13)<c(12)

Let c(t) be the number of customers in a restaurant t hours after 8 A.M.

We need to find the meaning of each given statement.

(a) c(0)=0 means the number of customers 0 hours after 8 A.M (i.e., 8 A.M.) is 0.

(b) c(3)=c(8) means the number of customers 3 hours after 8 A.M (i.e., 11 A.M.) is equal to the number of customers 8 hours after 8 A.M (i.e., 4 P.M.).

(c) c(n)=29 means the number of customers n hours after 8 A.M is 29.

(d) c(13)<c(12) means the number of customers 13 hours after 8 A.M (i.e., 9 P.M.) is less than the number of customers 12 hours after 8 A.M (i.e., 8 P.M.).
