Q. The All-Clean Laundry Company washes towels for a nearby hotel. The function f(x)f(x) gives the number of loads required when there are xx bins of towels to be washed.\newlineWhat does f(9)>12f(9) > 12 tell you?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)It takes more than 1212 loads to wash 99 bins of towels.\newline(B)It takes more than 99 loads to wash 1212 bins of towels.
  1. Given function f(x)f(x): We are given the function f(x)f(x), which represents the number of loads required to wash xx bins of towels. We need to interpret the meaning of the inequality f(9)>12f(9) > 12.
  2. Interpret inequality f(9)>12f(9) > 12: The inequality f(9)>12f(9) > 12 tells us that when there are 99 bins of towels, the number of loads required to wash them is greater than 1212. This means that it takes more than 1212 loads to wash 99 bins of towels.
  3. Match interpretation with choices: Now we need to match our interpretation with the given choices to find the correct answer.
  4. Analysis of choice (A): Choice (A) states "It takes more than 1212 loads to wash 99 bins of towels," which is exactly what we interpreted from the inequality f(9)>12f(9) > 12.
  5. Analysis of choice (B): Choice (B) states "It takes more than 99 loads to wash 1212 bins of towels," which is not what the inequality f(9)>12f(9) > 12 indicates. The inequality is about 99 bins, not 1212, and it specifies that the number of loads is greater than 1212, not the number of bins.
