Will fan and give medals please help!!!!
Evaluate the function , when g(t)=5/2t-3/2 t=3

Answer 1

A. 6
B. 9
C. 12
D. 13.5
I really need someone to explain!!!

Answer 2

This is verys traight forward, you see how it says \(\sf \color{red}{t=3}\), well all you need to do is plug in \(\sf \color{red}{3}\) whereever you see a \(t\) in the equation given.

Answer 3

ok but how will I solve with the fractions?

Answer 4

Just plug everything in.

Answer 5

and what about g(t) what does that mean?

Answer 6

g(t) means that \(g\) is a function composed of \(t\).

Answer 7

So what do I do with that?

Answer 8

You solve for it. Which is what you're doing. It is the same thing as saying g(3). Because t=3, remember?

Answer 9

so then it ends up being 3g?

Answer 10

For example, if you have g(t) = \(\sf \frac{11}{3t}\) and t=11, that means you have \(\sf \large \frac{11}{3\color{red}{(11)}}\) = \(\sf \frac{11}{33}= \frac{1}{3}\). Does that make sense?

Answer 11

yeah kinda can you check my answer?

Answer 12

3g is \(\color{red}{NOT}\) the answer.

Answer 13

Right its 6 right?

Answer 14

Let's check

Answer 15

\(\sf \frac{5}{2}(3) - \frac{3}{2} = \frac{15}{2}-\frac{3}{2}=\frac{12}{2} = \color{red}{6}\)

Answer 16

So I was right?

Answer 17

YES!

Answer 18

Thanks a million times could you help me on another one if I tag you in the question?
