To conserve water, many communities have developed water restrictions. The water utility charges a fee of $38, plus an additiona

l $1.28 per hundred cubic feet (HCF) of water. The recommended monthly bill for a household is between $57 and $87 dollars per month. If x represents the water usage in HCF in a household, write a compound inequality to represent the scenario and then determine the recommended range of water consumption. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
A) 057 ≤1.28x-38 s 87; To stay within the range, the usage should be between 44.5 and 97.7 HCF.

B) 57 s 1.28x - 38 s 87; To stay within the range, the usage should be between 74.2 and 97.7 HCF.

C) 57 ≤ 1.28x + 38 ≤ 87; To stay within the range, the usage should be between 14.8 and 38.3 HCF.

D)57 s 1.28x+38 ≤ 87; To stay within the range, the usage should be between 14.8 and 67.9 HCF.

Using a linear function, the correct option regarding the situation is given by:

C) 57 ≤ 1.28x + 38 ≤ 87; To stay within the range, the usage should be between 14.8 and 38.3 HCF.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

The bill is modeled by a linear function, with an <u>intercept of $38 and a slope of $1.28</u>, hence it is given by:

C(x) = 1.28x + 38

The bill should be between $57 and $87 dollars per month, hence:

57 <= C(x) <= 87.

The values of x are:

C(x) >= 57

1.28x + 38 >= 57

x >= 19/1.28

x >= 14.8.

C(x) >= 87

1.28x + 38 >= 87

x >= 49/1.28

x >= 38.3.

Hence option C is correct.
