A landfill has 30,000 tons of waste in it. Each month it accumulates an average of 585 more tons of waste. Let m represent the number of months.

What is a function that represents the total amount of waste after m months?

Respuesta :

Answer:

f(m) = 585m + 30, 000

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to set up your variable which is m which makes f(m) and since each month gives 585 tons per month we have the variable attached to that (585m). However, we already start with 30,000 so we add that in. You can check the answer by replacing m with a number, which for me I will choose 10, which gives me 35,850 which makes sense.
