A large pharmaceutical company uses the function f(x) =1.891x-3483 to model the amount of money, in billions of dollars, it spends each year on research and development, where x corresponds to the year. Use the function to predict the amount of money it will spend in 2010
The company will spend $ blank billion on research and development in 2010
(Round to three decimal places.)
To predict the amount of money the company will spend in 2010, we need to substitute x = 2010 into the given function.
f(x) = 1.891x - 3483
f(2010) = 1.891(2010) - 3483
f(2010) = 3797.91 - 3483
f(2010) = 314.91
Therefore, the company will spend approximately $314.910 billion on research and development in 2010.
your answer is wrong
Apologies for the incorrect answer.
To predict the amount of money the company will spend in 2010, we need to substitute x = 2010 into the given function.
f(x) = 1.891x - 3483
f(2010) = 1.891(2010) - 3483
f(2010) = 3797.91 - 3483
f(2010) = 314.91
Therefore, the company will spend approximately $314.910 billion on research and development in 2010.
your still wrong
Apologies for the confusion earlier. Let's try again.
The function given is:
f(x) = 1.891x - 3483
To predict the amount of money the company will spend in 2010, we substitute x = 2010 into the function:
f(2010) = 1.891(2010) - 3483
f(2010) = 3798.91 - 3483
f(2010) = 315.91
Therefore, the company will spend approximately $315.910 billion on research and development in 2010.
