in 2006 the average adult ate 56 pounds of chicken. this amount will increase by 0.6 pounds per year until 2011. What is the linear function f (x) ?

f (x) = 0.6 (x - 2006) + 56

Step-by-step explanation:

The function starts at 56 lb. Then it increases by 0.6 lb for every year after 2006.

Let x = the year

Then x - 2006 = the years since 2006.

And 0.6 (x - 2006) represents the additional pounds.

The function is

f (x) = 0.6 (x - 2006) + 56
