To estimate the per capita consumption of all poultry in the country in 2012, we need to find the value of C(x) when x is 11 (11 years since 2001).
So, C(11) = 2.74(11) + 92.18 = 30.14 + 92.18 = 122.32 pounds.
Therefore, the per capita consumption of all poultry in the country in 2012 is estimated to be 122.32 pounds.
The per capita consumption (in pounds) of all poultry in a country is approximated by the function Cox)=2.74x+92.18, where x is the number of years since 2001. Find and interpret C(2), and estimate the per capita consumption of all poultry in the country in 2012
a. Find and interpret C(2).
C(2)= 97.66 (Type an integer or a decimal.)
Now interpret C(2).
The per capita consumption of poultry was 97.66 pounds in the year 2003.
b. Estimate the per capita consumption of all poultry in the country in 2012.
The per capita consumption in 2012 will be __ pounds.
(Type an integer or a decimal.)
