The amount of garbage, \(G\), produced by a city with population \(p\) is given by \(G = f(p)\). \(G\) is measured in tons per week, and \(p\) is measured in thousands of people.
- The town of Tola has a population of 40,000 and produces 13 tons of garbage each week. Express this information in terms of the function \(f\).
- Explain the meaning of the statement \(f(5) = 2\).
The number of cubic yards of dirt, \(D\), needed to cover a garden with area \(a\) square feet is given by \(D = g(a)\).
- A garden with area 5000 \(ft^2\) requires 50 cubic yards of dirt. Express this information in terms of the function \(g\).
- Explain the meaning of the statement \(g(100) = 1\).
