Question
Dr. Blake is a zoologist who studies giant pandas. Giant pandas are very tiny when they are born but grow to be quite large. The function f(x) gives the weight, in pounds, of a particular female panda when she was x years old.
What does f(4) = f(30) tell you?
When the panda was 4 years old, she weighed 30 pounds
The panda was the same weight at the ages of 4 and 30
What does f(4) = f(30) tell you?
When the panda was 4 years old, she weighed 30 pounds
The panda was the same weight at the ages of 4 and 30

The statement \( f(4) = f(30) \) indicates that the weight of the panda at 4 years old is equal to her weight at 30 years old. Therefore, the correct interpretation is:
**The panda was the same weight at the ages of 4 and 30.**
This means that regardless of the panda's age between these two points, her weight does not change from 4 years to 30 years.
**The panda was the same weight at the ages of 4 and 30.**
This means that regardless of the panda's age between these two points, her weight does not change from 4 years to 30 years.
