no

Answer 16

i think i cam up with that f(-28x) and that is were i get stuck again

Answer 17

its f(x)=-28x

Answer 18

f(x) = -28x because like I said
Number of acres lost after number of years = Number of acres lost per year x years

Number of acres lost per year = 28
Number of years = x

Answer 24

because youre finding f(6)

Answer 25

k thanks skaematik
