To study the rate at which animals learn, a psychology student performed an experiment of rats in a maze. She found that there was a formula for the time (minutes) required is T(n) = 3 + 12 where 'n' is the number of times the rat ran n the maze. What is the rat's limiting time? Write your answer using the "“lim" notation. Verify your answer with a proper Excel graph. Analyze your equation and explain why the answers make sense.

To study the rate at which animals learn, a psychology student performed an
experiment of rats in a maze. She found that there was a formula for the time
(minutes) required is T(n) = 3 +
12
where 'n' is the number of times the rat ran
n
the maze. What is the rat's limiting time? Write your answer using the "lim"
notation. Verify your answer with a proper Excel graph. Analyze your equation
and explain why the answers make sense.
