Question

Let f(t) be the the number of units produced by a company t years after opening in 2005. What is the correct interpretation of f(6) = 44,500?

In 2009, 44,500 units are produced.

In 2011, 44,500 units are produced.

Six years from now, 44,500 units will be produced.

In 2006, 44,500 units are produced.

Answer 1

B. In 2011, 44,500 units are produced.

Explanation:

In the function f(t), t represents the number of years after 2005, and f(t) represents the number of units produced by the company.

So, f(6) = 44,500, means that in 2011, 44,500 units are produced.

Answer 2

In 2011, 44,500 units are produced

Explanation:

Let

t ----> the number of years after 2005

f(t) ----> the number of units produced by a company

we have

f(6)=44,500

so

For t=6, f(t)=44,500

That means

The number of units produced by a company is equal to 44,500 units six years after 2005

so

six years after 2005 is the year 2011

therefore

In 2011, 44,500 units are produced
