Use this situation for problems 1-4. (38)
Two siblings, Fran and George, are working hard to save money to go on a summer trip with their family.
Both started with some money, and they both have jobs where they are paid by the hour. The function
that models Fran's projected savings for the trip is f(t) = 20t+550. The function that models George's
projected savings for the trip is g(t) = 15t + 450.
1. What does f(t) = g(t) mean in this context?
2. What does f(t) + g(t) mean in this context?
3. Find a new function rule, h(t), that represents the amount of money Fran and George raise
together to contribute to the summer trip.
4. What is the y-intercept of the new function, h(t)? What does this mean in terms of the context?
