Question

Mr. Clarke raises sled-racing dogs in Canada. For training, he takes them on expedition trips. The function f(x) gives the number of dogs needed to pull a loaded sled weighing x pounds. What does f(300) < f(500) tell you?

Answer 1

The function f(x) gives the number of dogs needed to pull a loaded sled weighing x pounds

so,

as x increase , the number of dogs calculated by f(x) will increase

So,

the meaning of f(300) < f(500) is:

x is 300 pounds and 500 pounds and hence:

Mr, Clarke needs fewer dogs to pull a 300 pound sled than a 500 pound sled

The answer is the first statement
