If (R(t)=b-4t) and (R(0)=25), what is (b)?

Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 25
Given (R(t)=b-4t), substituting (t=0) gives (R(0)=b-4(0)=b). Since (R(0)=25), we get (b=25). The value 21 would be obtained at (t=1), not at the initial time. Exam tip: To find the constant term in a linear expression, often substitute 0 for the independent variable.
