Lily is a botanist who works for a garden that many tourists visit. The function f(s) = 2s + 30 represents the number of flowers that bloomed, where s is the number of seeds she planted. The function s(w) = 40w represents the number of seeds she plants per week, where w represents the number of weeks.

Part A: Write a composite function that represents how many flowers Lily can expect to bloom over a certain number of weeks. (4 points)

Part B: What are the units of measurement for the composite function in Part A? (2 points)

Part C: Evaluate the composite function in Part A for 35 weeks. (4 points)

mhanifa · Answer

For Part A substitute s with s(w)
Part B. The function f(s) becomes f(s(w)), this doesn't change the units of measurement, the only change about the calculation of the end result.
Part C. Find the value of f(s(35))
