Answer

A) f(w) = 80w + 30

B) w represents the number of weeks and f(w) the number of flowers that bloomed

C) 2830 flowers

Explanation

A) To find the function f, which represents the number of flowers that bloomed, as a function of w, the number of weeks, we have to evaluate f(s) with s = s(w) = 40w, as follows:


\begin{gathered} f(s)=2s+30 \\ \text{ Substituting }s=s(w), \\ f(s(w))=2s(w)+30 \\ \text{ Substituting }s(w)=40w \\ f(s(w))=2\cdot40w+30 \\ f(w)=80w+30 \end{gathered}

B) w represents the number of weeks and f(w) the number of flowers that bloomed, like before.

C) Substituting w = 35 weeks into f(w), we get:


\begin{gathered} f(w)=80(35)+30 \\ f(w)=2800+30 \\ f(w)=2830\text{ flowers} \end{gathered}
