Question

Let the graph of f(x) represent the cost in thousands of dollars to feed the zoo animals daily, where x is the number of animals measured in hundreds. What does the solution to the function (2, 8) represent?
a graph of a function that increases from the lower left, travels through an ordered pair labelled, 2, 8, and then increases toward the right

There are 800 animals, and the cost is $2,000 daily.
There are 8,000 animals, and the cost is $200 daily.
There are 200 animals, and the cost is $8,000 daily.
There are 2,000 animals, and the cost is $800 daily.

Answer 1

Answer: (C). There are 200 animals, and the cost is $8,000 daily.

Step-by-step explanation: We already know (x) is the number of animals measured in hundreds and it would go on the x axis. And that would mean that (f) is going to be on the y axis. Go over on the x axis 2 then for the y axis go up 8 on the y axis and you would get (2,8)= (200 animals, $8,000 a day)

Answer 2

There are 200 animals, and the cost is $8,000 daily
