Question 1041353: I need help on part A and B its confusing.
Linear Growth
1. A nuclear power plant produces 9 pounds of radioactive waste every month. The radioactive waste is stored in a special storage tank. The tank initially has 16 pounds of radioactive waste in the tank. PN represents the amount of radioactive waste (in pounds) in the storage tank after N months. Thus,
PN = PN − 1 + 9 and P0 = 16.
a) Give an explicit description for PN . ______________________
b) Find P130 .
Here we need to find p 130 Answer by josgarithmetic(39620) (Show Source):
Quantity produced is quantity stored.
Nine pounds produced per month is a rate; The independent variable is time, n, in months. At count of 0 months, already is stored, 16 pounds of waste. .
, which is the same form as , slope-intercept form for a line.

P130 is not the conventional notation. You are trying to ask for for which n=130. You have the solved FORMULA to use now.
