Question

When the county fair opened its gates, 68 people entered the fairgrounds. After one hour, there were 1.5 times as many people on the fairgrounds as when the gates opened. After two hours, there were 1.5 times as many people on the fairgrounds as the previous hour. If this pattern continues, write the function representing the number of people, f(x), at the fair x hours after the gates open.

Answer 1

The function that represents the number of people at the fair after x hours is f(x) = 68 + 1.5x

What is the function that represent the number of people at the fair?

The function that represents the number of people at the fair is known as a linear function. A linear function is any function that graphs to a straight line. The dependent variable in the linear function increases by a constant number.

Linear functions can be represented by : y = mx + c

Where:

• y = dependent variable
• c = constant

f(x) = 68 + (1.5x)
