The cost for x number of gallons of heating oil can be represented by the function f (x) = 4x+6 in the context of the problem explain the meaning of f (2) = 14

This means that the cost of 2 heating oil gallons is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

f (x) = 4x + 6, where x is the number of heating oil gallons.

And f (x) = 4x + 6 is the equation for the cost of x gallons.

When the number of gallons are 2 then the cost is;

f (2) = 4 (2) + 6 = 8 + 6 = 14

This means that the cost of 2 heating oil gallons is 14.
