Question

Trudy bought a $20 prepaid long distance phone card. for every minute that she talks, $0.25 is deducted from her card. The function f(m)=20-0.25m represents the amount of money f(m) she has left after talking m minutes.FInd the zero and explain what it means in the context of the situation.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(m)=20-0.25m to represent the amount of money f(m) she has left after talking m minutes, the zero of the equation can be gotten by setting f(m) to 0

f(m)=20-0.25m

0 =20-0.25m

-20 = -0.25m

m = -20/-0.25

m = 80

Hence Trudy will have talked for 80minutes if she has no money left
