Question 278437: I am confused on this problem and don't know even where to start. Please help.
f(x)= 5x+30/x models the average number of Latin words remembered by students in a language class after studying the words for one day.
How many words are remembered after 8 days?
After how many days do the numbers of students remember 8 words?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x is days and f(x) is number of words remembered
so to find number of words after 8 days plug in 8 for x and solve for f(x)
to find how many days it takes to remember 8 words plug in 8 for f(x) and solve for x
