Answer

$\text{a) } f(250)\approx5 \\\text{b) } x\approx75$

Work Step by Step

$\bf{\text{Solution Outline:}}$ Use the information in the given graph. $\bf{\text{Solution Details:}}$ To estimate $ f(250) ,$ find the value of $y$ when $x= 250 .$ Based on the graph, then $ f(250)\approx5 .$ To estimate $ f(x)=4 ,$ find the value of $x$ when $y= 4 .$ Based on the graph, $ x\approx75 .$ The answers are \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \text{a) } f(250)\approx5 \\\text{b) } x\approx75 .\end{array}
