Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
In a certain year, the amount A of garbage in pounds produced after t days by an average household is given by A = 7.5t.
Plot a graph for t > 0
how many days it will take to get 200 pounds of garbage.
Solution:
a) Let the time in days (t) be on the x axis and the amount of garbage (A) in pounds be on the y axis. Therefore:
At t = 0; A = 7.5(0) = 0
At t = 10; A = 7.5(10) = 75
The graph was plotted using the geogebra online graphing tool.
b) number of days require to get 200 pounds of garbage can be gotten by finding the value t for which A = 200. Therefore:
A = 7.5t
t = A / 7.5 = 200 / 7.5
t = 26.67 days
