Answer 1

Answer:

Expressing the information in terms of f we have;

$f(30)=11$

Explanation:

Given that the amount of garbage G, produced by a city with population p is given as;

$G=f(p)$

G - in tons per week

p - in thousands of people

Given that the town of Tola has a population of 30,000 and produces 11 tons of garbage each week then;

$\begin{gathered} p=30 \\ G=11 \end{gathered}$

so, by substituting the values of G and p into the function above, the function becomes;

$f(30)=11$

Therefore, expressing the information in terms of f we have;

$f(30)=11$
