Suppose that the marks (M) you get on an university exam is predicted by the following function:

M(G,i,t,y)=G+y(i)a(t) (1)

where: G is your current university average; i is your IQ level (i.e. your intelligence); t is the amount of time you spend studying for the exam; y is the year-level of the course you are taking. The values of the exponents are: > 1, 0 < < 1, and > 1

Write down an interpretation of the function in (1), covering as many concepts as you can that were taught in this course. Show all the steps.
