A large pharmaceutical company uses the function f(x) =1.891x-3483 to model the amount of​ money, in billions of​ dollars, it spends each year on research and​ development, where x corresponds to the year. Use the function to predict the amount of money it will spend in 2010

Question

The company will spend ​$ blank billion on research and development in 2010

​(Round to three decimal​ places.)

Answer 1

To predict the amount of money the company will spend in 2010, we need to substitute x = 2010 into the given function.

f(x) = 1.891x - 3483

f(2010) = 1.891(2010) - 3483
f(2010) = 3797.91 - 3483
f(2010) = 314.91

Therefore, the company will spend approximately $314.910 billion on research and development in 2010.

Answer 2

your answer is wrong

Answer 3

Apologies for the incorrect answer.

To predict the amount of money the company will spend in 2010, we need to substitute x = 2010 into the given function.

f(x) = 1.891x - 3483

f(2010) = 1.891(2010) - 3483
f(2010) = 3797.91 - 3483
f(2010) = 314.91

Therefore, the company will spend approximately $314.910 billion on research and development in 2010.

Answer 4

your still wrong

Answer 5

Apologies for the confusion earlier. Let's try again.

The function given is:

f(x) = 1.891x - 3483

To predict the amount of money the company will spend in 2010, we substitute x = 2010 into the function:

f(2010) = 1.891(2010) - 3483
f(2010) = 3798.91 - 3483
f(2010) = 315.91

Therefore, the company will spend approximately $315.910 billion on research and development in 2010.
