Let’s check out your problem:

Aiden is a taxi driver.

M(n) models Aiden's fee (in dollars) for his 
n^("th ") drive on a certain day.
What does the statement 
M(8) < M(4) mean?
Choose 1 answer:
(A) Aiden earned less money for his 
8^("th ") than he earned for his 
4^("th ") drive.
(B) Aiden earned 
$8 for fewer drives than the number of drives for which he earned 
$4.
(c) Aiden earned 
$8 for a drive that was earlier than a drive for which he earned 
$4.

Full solution

Q. Aiden is a taxi driver.\newlineM(n) M(n) models Aiden's fee (in dollars) for his nth  n^{\text {th }} drive on a certain day.\newlineWhat does the statement M(8)<M(4) M(8)<M(4) mean?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) Aiden earned less money for his 8th  8^{\text {th }} than he earned for his 4th  4^{\text {th }} drive.\newline(B) Aiden earned $8 \$ 8 for fewer drives than the number of drives for which he earned $4 \$ 4 .\newline(C) Aiden earned $8 \$ 8 for a drive that was earlier than a drive for which he earned $4 \$ 4 .
  1. Understand Function M(n)M(n): Understand the function M(n)M(n)\newlineM(n)M(n) is a function that models Aiden's fee for his nnth drive on a certain day. This means that for any given number nn, M(n)M(n) tells us the amount of money Aiden earned on that specific drive.
  2. Interpret Comparison M(8) < M(4): Interpret M(8) < M(4)\newlineThe statement M(8) < M(4) is a comparison between Aiden's 8th8^{\text{th}} drive and his 4th4^{\text{th}} drive. It tells us that the fee Aiden earned for his 8th8^{\text{th}} drive, M(8)M(8), is less than the fee he earned for his 4th4^{\text{th}} drive, M(4)M(4).
  3. Choose Correct Answer: Choose the correct answer Based on the interpretation of the function M(n)M(n) and the comparison given, we can conclude that (A) Aiden earned less money for his 8th8^{\text{th}} than he earned for his 4th4^{\text{th}} drive is the correct interpretation of the statement M(8) < M(4). The other options do not correctly interpret the comparison of the fees for the specific drives.
