PLEASEE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLEST 20 POINTS

Answer 1

Answer:

For each birdhouse built, the total cost increases by $3.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's try some of the answers and see if they work.

The "initial cost" will be the cost when 0 birdhouses are built.

... f(0) = 3.5·0 +24 = 24 . . . . . clearly, not $3.50

Then increasing the number of birdhouses by 1, the cost is ...

... f(1) = 3.5·1 +24 = 27.5 . . . . . the cost has gone up (not down) by $3.50

Clearly the total cost to build 1 birdhouse is not $3.50. (It is $27.50.)

___

Our exploration of the formula leads us to conclude ...

... For each birdhouse built, the total cost increases by $3.50.
