Understand function f(x): Understand the function f(x) and what it represents.The function f(x) gives the amount of water in the bucket after x seconds, where the amount of water is measured in liters.
Interpret inequality f(4) < 2: Interpret the inequality f(4) < 2. The inequality tells us that the amount of water in the bucket after 4 seconds is less than 2 liters.
Choose correct interpretation: Choose the correct interpretation from the given choices.(A) It takes under 2 seconds to fill the bucket with 4 liters of water. - This choice incorrectly interprets the inequality because it suggests a time less than 2 seconds to fill a certain amount of water, which is not what f(4) < 2 indicates.(B) After 4 seconds, the amount of water in the bucket is less than 2 liters. - This choice correctly interprets the inequality as it directly states that after 4 seconds, the amount of water is less than 2 liters, which is what f(4) < 2 indicates.
