Imagine that the export of Avocados from Indonesia is described by the relation: E(P) = P – 10000, P ≥10000, where P represents the production (in thousands) of Avocados. On the basis of the above scenario, answer the following questions: (i) Draw the line graph of E(P). use a scale where each unit represents one thousand on both the X and Y axes (Ex: consider 1= 1000)). Using the graph: (ii) Determine if E(P) is a function of P. (iii) Find the domain and range of E(P). (iv) Find how much export is done for 70 and 20 thousand of production. (v) What are dependent and independent variables in this problem?

Question

Imagine that the export of Avocados from Indonesia is described by the relation:  E(P) = P – 10000, P ≥10000, where P represents the production (in thousands) of Avocados.  On the basis of the above scenario, answer the following questions: (i) Draw the line graph of E(P).  use a scale where each unit represents one thousand on both the X and Y axes (Ex: consider 1= 1000)). Using the graph: (ii) Determine if E(P) is a function of P.  (iii) Find the domain and range of E(P). (iv) Find how much export is done for 70 and 20 thousand of production.  (v) What are dependent and independent variables in this problem?

Accepted Answer

(i) To draw the graph of E(P), you would plot the function E(P) = P - 10000 for P ≥ 10000. This…
