Question

in a salad with vegetables containing 50 calories dressing is added at 100 calories per ounce. The total number of calories can be represented by the equation f(x) = 100x +50. What is the reasonable range for the situation?

Answer 1

Explanation:

To get the reasonable range of the situation, we will find the minimum value and maximum value of the calories that can be dressed.

The minimum occur at when x = 0

f(0) = 100(0) +50.

f(0) = 50

Hence the minimum value of the calorie is 50.

The maximum value occur at f'(x)

f'(x) = 100

Hence the maximum value of the calorie is 100

Hence, the reasonable range for the situation is 50 ≤ x ≤ 100
