the amount of recycled items R produced by a city with population p is given by R=f(p). R is measured in tons per week and p is measured in thousands of people the town of tauton has a population of 150,000 and produces 25 tons of recycled items each week. express this information in terms of the function f then explain the meaning of the statement f(150)=25
