Answer

$f(30)=70$. The government tax revenue is $\$70$ at the tax rate of $30\%$. The point is $(30,70)$.

Work Step by Step

The given function is $f(x)=\frac{80x-8000}{x-110}$, $30\leq x\leq100$. Replace $x$ with $30$. $\Rightarrow f(30)=\frac{80(30)-8000}{30-110}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow f(30)=\frac{2400-8000}{-80}$ $\Rightarrow f(30)=\frac{-5600}{-80}$ $\Rightarrow f(30)=70$. Hence, the government tax revenue is $\$70$ at the tax rate of $30\%$. The point on the graph of the function is $(30,70)$.
