Hi
I cannot figure out how to solve this word problem, or what some of it even means:
"The cost, in dollars, of a t-year membership package in a professional organization is given by the function C, defined by C(t) = 100(t + k), where k is a constant. If the cost of a 2-year membership package is $500, what is the cost in dollars of a 3-year membership package?"
What is k and why is it there? Does it represent a number? What is the purpose of C?What exactly am I solving for?
Thanks!
