Question

Let the graph of f(x) represent the cost in thousands of dollars to feed the zoo animals daily, where x is the number of animals measured in hundreds. What does the solution to the function (2,10) represent?

Answer 1

X is represented by hunders which means x=2 means 200 animals (2*100). While Y is represented by thousands of dollars, y=10 means $10,000 (10*1000).

The answer is There are 200 animals, and the cost is $10,000 daily

Answer 2

Answer:

The solution to the function (2,10) represent:

• There are 200 animals , and the cost is $ 10,000 daily.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the number of animals (in hundreds) is the independent variable and it is the first value of the ordered pair (x,y).

similarly the cost (in thousands) is the dependent variable and it is the second value of the ordered pair.

Here the ordered pair (2,10) represents that there are 200 animals and the cost of feeding the 200 zoo animals daily is: $10,000
