Answer:

Tamara's example is in fact an example that represents a linear functional relationship.

This is because the cost of baby-sitting is linearly related to the amount of hours the nany spend with the child: the more hours the nany spends with the child, the higher the cost of baby-sitting, and this relation is constant: for every extra hour the cost increases at a constant rate of $6.5.

If we want to represent the total cost of baby-sitting in a graph, taking the variable "y" as the total cost of baby-sitting and the variable "x" as the amount of hours the nany remains with the baby, y=5+6.5x (see the graph attached).
The relation is linear because the cost increases proportionally with the amount of hours ($6.5 per hour).
See table attached, were you can see the increses in total cost of baby sitting (y) when the amount of hours (x) increases.

Complete question

To find $\sqrt{5}$ , Beau found $2^2 = 4$ and $3^2 = 9$ . He said that since 5 is between 4 and 9, $\sqrt{5}$ , is between 2 and 3. Beau thinks a good estimate for $\sqrt{5}$ , is $\frac{2 + 3}{2} = 2.5$ Is his estimate high or low? How do you know?
