Fast Talker Project Activity 3: Writing t(n) Questions

Activity 3: Writing

The function t = 4.3n predicts the time t (in seconds) it takes n people in a row to say the tongue twister "A cricket critic cricked his neck at a critical cricket match."

1. Find t(5). Explain what it represents. Show your work.
2. What does t(0) mean?
3. Suppose t(n) = 3.44 seconds. How can you determie how many people in a row said the tongue twister?

I need help solving those 3 questions.

Does t(5) mean that 5 people said the tongue twister in t = time?
And does t(0) mean that no one said the tongue twister?

Does t(5) mean that 5 people said the tongue twister in t = time?
And does t(0) mean that no one said the tongue twister?

You've got the right idea, just don't forget to compute t(5).
