There were 2,300 applicants for enrollment to the freshman class at a small college in the year 2010. The number of applicants has risen linearly by roughly 170 per year. The number of applications f(x) is given by f(x) = 2,300 + 170x, where x is the number of years since 2010.
a. Determine if the function g(x) = (x - 2,300) / 170 is the inverse of f.
b. Interpret the meaning of function g in the context of the problem.
a. No
b. The value g(x) represents the number of years since the year 2010 based on the number of applicants to the freshman class, x.
a. Yes
b. The value g(x) represents the number of applicants to the freshman class based on the number of years since 2010, x.
a. No
b. The value g(x) represents the number of applicants to the freshman class based on the number of years since 2010, x.
a. Yes
b. The value g(x) represents the number of years since the year 2010 based on the number of applicants to the freshman class, x.
