6. Based on data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the average number of acres per farm x years after 2000 can be approximated by the model below. (Round answers to 2 decimal places.) A(x) = (2078x-94458)/(13x-2164)Use the model to estimate the average number of acres per farm in 2005
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:40.05 acresStep-by-step explanation:Let x = number of acres per farm x years after 2000.In the year 2005, x = 2005 - 2000 = 5.To estimate the average number of acres per farm in 2005, we have to replace the value x = 5 in the expression of A(x).A(5) = (2078 . 5 - 94458) / (13 . 5 - 2164)A(5) = (10390 - 94458) / (65 - 2164)A(5) = (-84068) / (-2099)A(5) = 40.05
