Q. Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro is one of the most popular beaches in the world.P(t) models the number of people at the beach, t hours past midnight on a specific day.What does the statement P(10)=N mean?Choose 1 answer:(A) There were N people at the beach at 10:00 a.m.(B) There were 10 people at the beach at N hours past midnight.(C) There was an equal number of people at the beach at 10:00 a.m. and at N hours past midnight.
Function P(t): Understand the function P(t).P(t) is a function that models the number of people at Copacabana beach t hours past midnight on a specific day.
Interpret P(10)=N: Interpret P(10)=N.The statement P(10)=N means that the function P, when evaluated at t=10 hours past midnight, equals N. This tells us the number of people at the beach at that specific time.
Determine the time of day: Determine the correct time of day.Since t is measured in hours past midnight, t=10 corresponds to 10 hours after midnight, which is 10:00 a.m.
Choose the correct answer: Choose the correct answer.Based on the interpretation of P(10)=N, the correct answer is that there were N people at the beach at 10:00 a.m.
