Suppose f x gives the total cost in dollars for Moo and Berr
Suppose f (x) gives the total cost in dollars for Moo and Berry\'s to produce x gallons of premium ice cream. Currently, they produce A gallons of premium ice cream each week. Which of these does f (A - 2) + 16 represent? Sixteen dollars more than the cost of making 2 more gallons than they currently make. The cost of making 14 more gallons than they currently make. Sixteen dollars more than the cost of making 2 fewer gallons than they currently make. Two dollars less than the cost of making sixteen more gallons than they currently make. Suppose f (x) gives the total cost in dollars for Moo and Berry\'s to produce x gallons of premium ice cream. Currently, they produce A gallons of premium ice cream each week. Which of these does -f (-A) represent? This doesn\'t make sense in context; they can\'t produce a negative amount of ice cream. How much they owe when they make the amount of ice cream that they currently make. The cost of making the amount of ice cream that they currently make.. The opposite of the cost to make the opposite amount of ice cream than they currently make.
Solution
Part 1
From the statement given, f(x) represents the cost of making x gallons of making ice cream
f(A) represents cost of making A gallons of ice cream. Therefore, f(A-2) represents cost of making 2 gallons less than A gallons of ice cream.
Therefore, 16+f(A-2) represents the 16 dollars more than the cost of making 2 fewer gallons than the current A gallons per week.
Hence, answer is Option C
Part 2
-f(-A) represents negative of the cost of making -A gallons of icream which does not make sense as negative A gallons cannot be produced.
Hence, the answer is Option A
