Question

In a certain year, the amount A of garbage in pounds produced after t days by an average person is given by A=0.5t. 
Graph the equation for t>0
How many  days did it take for hthe average person to produce 150 pounds of garbage?

anonymous · Answer

As for the graph, just put that in the calc, it should be a line that goes 2 units right for every one up. Next to find number of days, just do this:

150 = .5t, solve for t to get number of days.
150/.5 = t = 300 DAYS
