For a special event, a restaurant charges a one-time setup fee, plus a charge for each person attending the event. The charge fo

r 5 people is $100. The charge for 10 people is $162.50.
Part 1) Write a linear function that models the cost, y, of the total event cost based on the number of people, x, attending the event.

Part 2) Describe what the rate of change and initial value mean in this situation.

Any linear function is of the form y=mx+b

Here m is slope and b is y intercept.

Slope is difference in y divided by different in x values .

In the question for 5 persons cost is $100 and for 10 persons cost is $162.50

So the points are (5,100) and (10,162.50)

Slope m=\frac{162.50-100}{10-5}=12.50

We can find the value of b by taking m=12.50 and (x,y)=(5,100)

Substitute these values in y=mx+b

100=12.50(5)+b

100=62.50+b

Subtracting 62.50 both sides

b=100-62.50

b=37.5

a) Put m=12.50 and b=37.50 to get the equation

y=12.50x+37.50

b)Rate of change is the m value or the slope of the function.

Initial value that is (5,100) gives us one of the points to find the rate of change.

Isaiah decides to launch a model rocket to demonstrate parabolic motion. Given x stands for time and y stands for height in feet
mina [271]

The parabolic motion is an illustration of a quadratic function

The equation that models that path of the rocket is y = -16/31x^2 + 256/31x - 880/31

<h3>How to model the function?</h3>

Given that:

x stands for time and y stands for height in feet

So, we have the following coordinate points

(x,y) = (5,0), (11,0) and (10,80)

A parabolic motion is represented as:

y =ax^2 + bx + c

At (5,0), we have:

25a + 5b + c = 0

c= -25a - 5b

At (11,0), we have:

121a + 11b + c = 0

Substitute c= -25a - 5b

121a + 11b -25a - 5b = 0

Simpify

96a + 6b = 0

At (10,80), we have:

100a + 10b + c = 80

Substitute c= -25a - 5b

100a + 10b - 25a -5b = 80

75a -5b = 80

Divide through by 5

15a -b = 16

Make b the subject

b = 15a + 16

Substitute b = 15a + 16 in 96a + 6b = 0

96a + 6(15a + 16) = 0

Expand

96a + 90a + 96 = 0

This gives

186a = -96

Solve for a

a = -16/31

Recall that:

b = 15a + 16

So, we have:

b = -15 * 16/31 + 16

b =-240/31 + 16

Take LCM

b =(-240 + 31 * 16)/31

[tex]b =256/31

Also, we have:

c= -25a - 5b

This gives

c= 25*16/31 - 5 * 256/31

Take LCM

c= -880/31

Recall that:

y =ax^2 + bx + c

This gives

y = -16/31x^2 + 256/31x - 880/31

Hence, the equation that models that path of the rocket is y = -16/31x^2 + 256/31x - 880/31

This situation is governed by a linear equation:

Total Pay = Base Salary + Commissions, and here that equation is:

Total Pay = $150 + 0.14(Total of sales for the week).

Here, Total Pay = $150 + 0.14($6050) = $150 + $847 = $997
