I am coming up with 18 but how do you graph that?

anonymous · Answer

Well if you using a graphing calculator or even if your not it doesn't matter A will be the y values and t will be you x values. So in a graphing calculator it would look like this y= 5.5(x) and you can even add for (x > 0) or just look for the values when x is greater than 0.
