Answer:

Option B. Linear

y=4x+18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> the time in hours

y----> the total inches of snow on the ground

we know that

The function that best model this situation is the linear function

so

y=mx+b

In this problem

m=4\frac{in}{h}

b=18\ in ----> the y-intercept

substitute

y=4x+18

Question:

A ski resort has 18 inches of snow on the ground. The snow is falling at a rate of 4 inches per hour. Which type of functions best models this situation?

A) exponential

B) linear

C) quadratic

D) radical

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a ski resort has 18 inches of snow on the ground. The snow is falling at a rate of 4 inches per hour.

If a function has constant rate of change, then the it is a linear function.

It the given case the rate of change is constant so linear function best model this situation.

The slope intercept form of linear function is

f(x)=mx+b           ... (1)

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept or initial value.

Ski resort has 18 inches of snow on the ground it means initial value is 18.

The snow is falling at a rate of 4 inches per hour. So, m=4.

Substitute m=4 and b=18 in equation (1).

f(x)=4x+18

Therefore Linear decreasing function best model this situation and the required function is f(x)=4x+18.

Hope this helps.

1. If Sheryl works 6.5 hours in a day, she makes approximately 85 currency.

2A. If Sherly had not worked for a single hour, she would get no money.

If she worked for 1 hour, here wage would approximately be equal to 13 currency.

If Sheryl works 9 hours she will make approximately 117 currency.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

To calculate how much Sheryl makes if she works 6.5 hours a day, we check the graph to see what the y value of the graph is when x =6.5.

When x =6.5, the line falls on y = 85.

So if Sheryl works 6.5 hours in a day, she makes approximately 85 currency.

Step 2:

The two points on the graph are at (0, 0) and (1, 13).

This means that if Sherly had not worked for a single hour, she would get no money.

If she worked for 1 hour, here wage would approximately be equal to 13 currency.

These two statements explain the two points on the graph.

Step 3:

To calculate how much Sheryl makes if she works 9 hours, we must create an equation that represents how much money she makes.

If she earns approximately 13 currency an hour, her wage is y = 13x, where x is the number of hours worked and y is the wage.

When x =9, y = 9(13) = 117.

So if Sheryl works 9 hours she will make approximately 117 currency.
