Full solution

Q. Classic Exteriors is a house-painting company. It takes the painters f(x)f(x) hours to put xx coats of paint on a house.\newlineWhat does f(2)>3f(2) > 3 tell you?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)It takes the painters more than 33 hours to put 22 coats of paint on a house.\newline(B)It takes more than 33 painters to put 22 coats of paint on a house.
  1. Interpret Function f(2)f(2): We are given the function f(x)f(x), which represents the number of hours it takes to put xx coats of paint on a house. We need to interpret the meaning of f(2)>3f(2) > 3.
  2. Understand Inequality f(2)>3f(2) > 3: The function f(x)f(x) is defined for a number of coats xx, and f(2)f(2) refers to the time taken to put 22 coats of paint on a house. The inequality f(2)>3f(2) > 3 tells us that the time taken to put 22 coats of paint on a house is greater than 33 hours.
  3. Choose Correct Option: Now we need to choose the correct option based on our interpretation of f(2)>3f(2) > 3. Option (A) states "It takes the painters more than 33 hours to put 22 coats of paint on a house," which matches our interpretation. Option (B) states "It takes more than 33 painters to put 22 coats of paint on a house," which is not related to the time taken but rather the number of painters, which is not what f(x)f(x) represents.
