Question

The function f(x)=0.39x+10.9 can be used to predict diamond production. For this​ function, x is the number of years after​ 2000, and​ f(x) is the value​ (in billions of​ dollars) of the​ year's diamond production. Use this function to predict diamond production in 2006 The diamond production in 2006 is predicted to be ​$[ ] nothing billion.

Answer 1

The diamond production is 2006 is expected to be 13.24 billion

Explanation:

Here, we want to predict the diamond production is 2006

The equation to use is given in the question as;

f(x) = 0.39x + 10.9

Since x is the number of years after 2006, in this particular question, x will be 2006-2000 = 6

So f(6) = 0.39(6) + 10.9

f(6) = 2.34 + 10.9

f(6) = 13.24 billion
