Q. Agent Hunt is transferring classified files from the CIA mainframe into his flash drive.S represents the size of the files on the drive (in megabytes) after t seconds.S=5t+45How many megabytes are transferred every 10 seconds?megabytes
Identify formula and question: Identify the given formula and what is asked.The formula given is S=5t+45, where S represents the size of the files on the drive (in megabytes) after t seconds. We need to find out how many megabytes are transferred every 10 seconds.
Determine size at start of interval: Determine the size of the files on the drive at the start of the 10-second interval.To find out how many megabytes are transferred every 10 seconds, we need to calculate the size of the files at the beginning and at the end of a 10-second interval. Let's start with the size at the beginning, which is when t=0 seconds.S=5(0)+45S=0+45S=45 megabytes
Determine size at end of interval: Determine the size of the files on the drive at the end of the 10-second interval.Now, we calculate the size of the files at the end of the 10-second interval, which is when t=10 seconds.S=5(10)+45S=50+45S=95 megabytes
Calculate difference in size: Calculate the difference in size to find out how many megabytes are transferred.The number of megabytes transferred in 10 seconds is the difference in size between the end and the beginning of the 10-second interval.Megabytes transferred = Size at end - Size at beginningMegabytes transferred = 95 megabytes−45 megabytesMegabytes transferred = 50 megabytes
