Question

anonymous · Answer

f=-25x

anonymous · Answer

so what's the linear function that calculates the change in acres of rain fores in millions in x years ?

anonymous · Answer

What i just wrote

anonymous · Answer

So to find f(5) replace f with 5 and solve for x

anonymous · Answer

i made a mistake . it's 23 million acres lost per year. so how do I solve that ?

anonymous · Answer

The linear function would be f=-23x and do the same just replace f with 5 and solve for x

anonymous · Answer

why am I replacing  f w/ 5 ?

anonymous · Answer

At the end of your question you said find f(5)

anonymous · Answer

can you explain it in more detail ?

anonymous · Answer

Im not sure how to...When it asks you to find f(5) it just means to replace f with 5 and then solve the equation....whatever is in the parentheses you put in place of f
