QuestionGiven the function $f(x) = 0.4x^2 - 36x + 1000$ for drivers aged 16-74:
1. Calculate and simplify $f(50)$.
2. Explain $f(50)$ as accidents per 50 million miles for 50-year-olds.
3. Describe $f(50)$ as a point on the graph of $f(x)$.

Studdy Solution
Identify $f(50)$ as a point on the graph of $f(x)$.
The point $(50,1200)$ is on the graph of the function $f(x) =0.4x^2 -36x +1000$. This point corresponds to the number of accidents (1200) per50 million miles driven by50-year-old drivers.
