Evaluating a Function in a Word Problem (SAT Test 9, MATH Section 2 Module 2, Question 18)

This video explains the answer to Question 18 from the SAT Paper Practice Test 9 Section 2 Module 2 Math portion. The question is m(t)= -0.0274(t/7)^2 + 7.3873(t/7)+75.032 The function m gives the predicted body mass m(t), in kilograms (kg), of a certain animal t days after it was born in a wildlife reserve, where t ≤ 390. Which of the following is the best interpretation of the statement “m(330) is approximately equal to 362” in this context? This practice test is provided for free by the College Board. This video will show you how to do this problem and the logic behind it.
