Answer
$w(1)= 165.74$
$w(2)= 159.48$
$w(3)= 153.22$
$w(4)= 146.96$
$w(5)= 140.7$
According to the dynamic of the range, the acres used to grow watermelons were decreasing throughout this period.
Work Step by Step
The function is given:
$w(t)=-6.26t+172$
Where $t$ is the number of years since $1999$. The value of $t$ has a domain of $1,2,3,4,5$
The range will be as follows:
$t=1$
$w(1)=-6.26\times 1 + 172 = 165.74$
$t=2$
$w(2)=-6.26\times 2 + 172 = 159.48$
$t=3$
$w(3)=-6.26\times 3 + 172 = 153.22$
$t=4$
$w(4)=-6.26\times 4 + 172 = 146.96$
$t=5$
$w(5)=-6.26\times 5 + 172 = 140.7$
According to the dynamic of the range, the number of acres used to grow watermelons was decreasing throughout this period.
