Q. A=2450+740s A=2450+740 s \newlineThe total amount, A A , in thousands of dollars, of scholarship money given out by a college throughout its history at a time of s s semesters after the summer of the year 20002000 is given by the equation. What was the total amount of scholarship money, in thousands of dollars, given out by the college up to the summer of the year 20002000 ?
  1. Determining Initial Value: To find the total amount of scholarship money given out by the college up to the summer of the year 20002000, we need to determine the value of AA when ss equals 00, since ss represents the number of semesters after the summer of the year 20002000.
  2. Substituting s=0s = 0: We substitute s=0s = 0 into the equation A=2450+740sA = 2450 + 740s to find the total amount of scholarship money at that time.\newlineA=2450+740(0)A = 2450 + 740(0)
  3. Solving for A: Perform the multiplication step in the equation. \newlineA=2450+0A = 2450 + 0 \newline A=2450A = 2450
  4. Final Answer: Since AA represents the total amount of scholarship money in thousands of dollars, the final answer is 24502450 thousand dollars.
