I need to interpret f(10) if the following polynomial function represents power genrated by a wind turbine, x is the wind speed in meters per second and y is the kilowatss gnerated f(x)=0.08x^3+x^2+x+0.26. I did solve it and f(10) is = 190.26 but I am suppose to interpret. Not sure how to interpret.

I need to interpret f(10) if the following polynomial function represents power genrated by a wind turbine, x is the wind speed in meters per second and y is the kilowatss gnerated   f(x)=0.08x^3+x^2+x+0.26.  I did solve it and f(10) is = 190.26 but I am suppose to interpret.  Not sure how to interpret.

hartnn · Answer

f(10) is f(x) when x=10, so
f(10) will be power generated in kilowatts by wind turbine when wind speed is 10 m/s

hartnn · Answer

or you can say 190.26 kilowatts of power is generated by wind turbine when wind speed is 10 m/s

anonymous · Answer

so  190.26 is the kilowatts generated at wind speed of 10m/s?

hartnn · Answer

yup. use complete sentence as i have shown in 2nd comment.
