Question

The All-Clean Laundry Company washes towels for a nearby hotel. The function f(x) gives the number of loads required when there are x bins of towels to be washed.
What does f(9)>12 tell you?

Answer 1

The statement \( f(9) > 12 \) indicates that when there are 9 bins of towels to be washed, the All-Clean Laundry Company requires more than 12 loads to wash them. In other words, if the hotel brings in 9 bins of towels, it will take the company more than 12 washing cycles or loads to process all those towels. This could imply that the washing capacity per load, or the specific requirements of washing the towels, is such that the amount of laundry exceeds what can be handled in 12 loads.
