Question

in 2006 the average adult ate 56 pounds of chicken. this amount will increase by 0.6 pounds per year until 2011. What is the linear function f(x)?

Answer 1

Answer:

f(x) = 0.6(x -2006) + 56  

Step-by-step explanation:

The function starts at 56 lb. Then it increases by 0.6 lb for every year after 2006.

Let x = the year

Then x - 2006 = the years since 2006.

And 0.6(x - 2006) represents the additional pounds.

The function is

f(x) = 0.6(x -2006) + 56

Answer 2

The required linear function is (f(x) = 0.6(x - 2006) + 56) and this can be determined by using the arithmetic operations.

Given :

• In 2006 the average adult ate 56 pounds of chicken.
• Amount will increase by 0.6 pounds per year until 2011.

To determine the linear function f(x) following steps can be used:

Step 1 - Let 'x' be the number of years.

Step 2 - Then the total number of years since 2006 will be:

= x - 2006

Step 3 - The amount increase in pounds per year will be:

= 0.6(x - 2006)

Step 4 - Now, add 56 in the above equation.

= 0.6(x - 2006) + 56

Therefore, the required linear function is (f(x) = 0.6(x - 2006) + 56).
