The amount of garbage, g, produced by a city with population p is given by g=f(p). g is measured in tons per week, and p is measured in thousands of people. the town of tola has a population of 40,000 and produces 13 tons of garbage each week. express this information in terms of the function f. explain the meaning of the statement f(5)=2.

f(40) = 13

f(5) = 2 means that a city with a population of 5000 produces 2 tons of garbage per week.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The amount of garbage per week is 13 tons. Then, G = 13 tons per week.

The population of Tola is 40000 or 40 thousands (p = 40). Then, in terms of the function f:

f(40) = 13

f(5) = 2

f(p) = G

p = population measured in thousands = 5 = 5000 people

G = tons of garbage produced per week = 2  

The expression means that a city with a population of 5000 produces 2 tons garbage per week.
