Answer:
a) F(t) = R[P(t)]
b) the output units of the new function = F(t) in dollars per gallon
Explanation:
a) There are two function R(t) which shows the average price in dollars of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline and P(t) which shows the purchasing power of the dollar as measured by consumer prices based on 2010 dollars.
To write the function which gives the rice of gasoline in constant 2010 dollars ;
From the analysis , this is an example of a composition of function as such the relationship =
F(t) = R[P(t)]
b) the output units of the new function = F(t) in dollars per gallon
This shows that the value of F(t) is the dependent variable
