The function \(g\), where \(g(t)=0.066t+0.96\), can be used to represent the relation between grade point average \(g(t)\) and the number of hours \(t\) spent studying each week. Based on this function, a student with a grade point average of \(3.5\) studied how many hours per week?

OpenStudy (theraggedydoctor):

I keep getting 1.191.

OpenStudy (loser66):

How can you get it?

OpenStudy (theraggedydoctor):

I'm not completely sure but put in \(3.5\) for \(t\).

OpenStudy (loser66):

3.5 for g

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3.5 is not time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It looks like this \[3.5 = 0.066t + 0.96\] find t.

OpenStudy (theraggedydoctor):

._. Bleh. Okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well the questions is asking "how many hours" meaning that you will have to solve for time(t) :p

OpenStudy (theraggedydoctor):

Yeah. Sorry. :/

OpenStudy (theraggedydoctor):

I got 38.5

OpenStudy (theraggedydoctor):

Or 38.48... but I rounded it to 38.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, that is correct.

OpenStudy (theraggedydoctor):

Alright. Thank you.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

subtract 0.96 from each side 0.066t = 2.54

OpenStudy (theraggedydoctor):

Yup. A little late on that one, but thanks anyways.
