Question

I need help on a question please.

Answer 1

Shannon is managing a small zoo and has been analyzing the attendance data. Shannon has found that the number of visitors increases exponentially as the temperature increases. Shannon has also found a linear equation that models the number of people who leave the park early depending on the temperature. Describe how Shannon can combine these two functions into a new function and explain what that function would predict.

Answer 2

Answer 3

I kinda lost with what the second function really telling us. Say it is any linear equation y=mx+b

is it x=Temperature, y=number of visitors
OR
is it x=time of the day, y=Temperature.

(or am I overworking myself?)

Answer 4

by the second given linear function
if `x=time of the day` and `y=Temperature`
-------------------------------------

`number of visitors increases exponentially as the temperature increases`

THIS ^ can be given by ban exponential function \(f(x)=a({\rm b})^x\)

x is the temperature, y is the number of visitors.
-------------------------------------
```
linear equation that models the number of people who
leave the park early depending on the temperature.
```

THIS ^ can be given by \(g(x)={\rm c}x\).
x is the time of the day, y is the temperature.
---------------------------------------

then f( g(x) ) would be giving as the number of visitors (the y), at a certain time of the day (the x).

Answer 5

that is my look.... I could be wrong.

Answer 6

The parts that if confusing me is "how Shannon can combine these two functions into a new function and explain what that function would predict"
