Mrs. Henderson is filling a bucket with water from a hose. The amount of water in the bucket after x seconds is given by the function f(x). The amount of water is measured in liters.

Question

What does f(4)<2 tell you?

Answer 1

The expression \( f(4) < 2 \) indicates that after 4 seconds of filling the bucket with water from the hose, the amount of water in the bucket is less than 2 liters. In other words, at the 4-second mark, the bucket contains less than 2 liters of water. This could suggest that either the hose is providing water at a slow rate or that there may be some delay in water reaching the bucket, depending on the context.
