## gabimurphy5 Suppose the polynomial function below represents the power generated by a wind turbine, where x represents the wind speed in meters per second and y represents the kilowatts generated. Interpret ƒ(10). ƒ(x) = 0.08x3 + x2 + x + 0.26 one year ago one year ago

f(10)=8^3+100+10+.26

2. gabimurphy5

allright, but, this is supposed to be an essay question.

3. poopsiedoodle

multiply 64 by 8 to get 8^3, and then add all of them together

4. poopsiedoodle

oh. well poop.

5. vivalakoda

Just plug in 10 for every x. Ex. 0.08(10)......... That will give you kilowatts generated.

6. poopsiedoodle

in that case, I'm clueless :c

I hate essay questions. -_- But, I'm assuming they are asking to explain in complete sentences how to solve the function. I would suggest: First, I just plug in 10 for every x, since it's a function. Then I treat the function like it's an equation. <Here you can explain more in to detail about what steps you did when solving>.
