A company has developed two functions, L( t) and M( t), that determine the least amount and most amount,
respectively, of revenue it will make in any given month in dollars (with t = 1 corresponding to January).
What can the company reasonably conclude if L(2) = 3,000 and M(2) = 5,000?

A server at a restaurant has realized that tips, T, in dollars are related to the number of hours, h, that have been worked on any
given day. Tips can be modeled by the function T( h) = X.
How can this function be interpreted?
YOUR CORRECT
ANSWER ANSWER
If the server works h hours, the tips will be $ X.
If the server works T hours, the tips will be $ h.
If the server works h hours, the tips will be $ T( X).
If the server works X hours, the tips will be $ T.
