Problema Solution
in a certain year, the amount a of garbage in pounds produced after t days by an average household is given by a=8.5t.
a graph the equation for t >0
b how many days did it take for the average household to produce 150 pounds of garbage
Answer provided by our tutors
If a = 8.5 t then t = a/(8.5).
For a = 150 we get
t = 150/8.5
t = 17 + 5.5/8.5 = 17.65 days approximately.
