Question

The number of visitors to a park is expected to follow the function v(x) = 8(x − 1), where x is the number of days since opening. On the first day, there will be a ceremony with 32 people in attendance. What is the function that shows total visitors, including the ceremony?

Answer 1

You have the function v(x) = 8(x − 1), where x is the number of days since opening.

 On the first day, there will be a ceremony with 32 people in attendance.

 Therefore, keeping the information above on mind, the function that shows total visitors, including the ceremony is:

 f(x)=8(x-1)+32

 So, as you can see, the answer is: 

 f(x)=8(x-1)+32
