Question

The following is an excerpt from a May 12, 2006, press release issued by the National Agricultural Statistics Service of the USDA.

Florida frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ) yield for the 2005-2006 season, at 1.62 gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix, is increased from the 1.58 gallons last season.† (Note: 42 degrees Brix means the juice has 42 grams of sucrose sugar per 100 grams of liquid.)

Draw a function graph that gives the Florida frozen concentrated orange juice yield as a function of the number of years since the 2004-2005 season.


Use the graph to forecast the yield for the 2007-2008 season.
gal/box ____________

Explanation / Answer

According to given data. at time t=0 the yield is 1.58 and after 1 year yield is 1.62. so option 'c' is matching.

From graph we can see in 2007-2008 yield will be 1.70 gal/box
