-It has been determined that the number of fish $\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { t } )$ that can be caught in $\mathrm { t }$ minutes in a certain pond using a certain bait is $f ( t ) = .28 t + 1$, for $t > 10$. Find the approximate number of fish that can be caught if you fish for 32 minutes.
A) About 9 fish
B) About 21 fish
C) About 36 fish
D) About 34 fish

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the approximate number of fish that can be caught in 32 minutes, substitute $t = 32$ into the given function: $f(32) = .28(32) + 1 = 9.96$. This rounds to about 9 fish.
