Using Function Notation to Model a Scenario
The amount of garbage, $\displaystyle {G}$ , in tons per week, produced by a city with population $\displaystyle {p}$ , measured in thousands of people, is given by $\displaystyle {G}={f{{\left({p}\right)}}}$ The town of Tola has a population of 25,000 and produces 15 tons of garbage each week.
Which of the following best represents this scenario as an equation involving the function $\displaystyle {f}$ .
G(15) = 25 f(25)=15 f(15)=25 G(25) = 15 f(15)=25,000 f(25,000)=15
