Question

Let f(t) be the number of vinyl records sold by a record company t years after 1950. Match each equation to the statement it models.

Answer 1

1) f(8)=68,594

2) f(11)=91,299

3) f(2)=38,720

4) f(17)=161,743

Answer 2

For this case, the first thing you should know is:
x: number of years after 1950
f (x): amount of vinyl sold.
We have then that the functions evaluated for the number of years are given by:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 ---------> f(8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 ---------> f(11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 ---------> f(2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 ---------> f(17) = 161743
