As a drone travels away from an operator, the function G(x)=24+47x models the distance, in yards, between the drone and the operator at x minutes. What is the value of G(1.9)?
This is a linear function evaluation problem. The function G(x)=24+47x gives the drone’s distance from the operator after x minutes. The constant 24 is the starting distance, and 47 is the rate of change in yards per minute. To evaluate G(1.9), substitute 1.9 for x. Then compute G(1.9)=24+47(1.9). Multiplying first gives 47×1.9=89.3. Adding 24 gives 113.3. Because the function measures distance in yards, the result means the drone is 113.3 yards from the operator after 1.9 minutes. The other options do not result from correctly substituting 1.9 into the function. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
