Question

Suppose the polynomial function below represents the power generated by a wind turbine, where x represents the wind speed in meters per second and y represents the kilowatts generated. Interpret ƒ(10). f(x) = 0.08x^3 + x^2 + x + 0.26

Answer 1

Answer:

f(10) or the power generated by the wind turbine at the wind speed of 10 m/s is 190.26 kW

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial function is,

$f(x) = 0.08x^3 + x^2 + x + 0.26$

where,

x represents the wind speed in meters per second,

y represents the kilowatts generated.

Putting x=10, we can get the value of f(10).

So,

$=f(10)$

$= 0.08(10)^3 + (10)^2 + (10) + 0.26$

$= 0.08(1000) + (100) + (10) + 0.26$

$= 80 + 100 + 10 + 0.26$

$=190.26$

Therefore,at x=10 or when the wind speed is 10 m/s, then y or the power generated by the wind turbine will be 190.26 kW
