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.

Answer:

10x^2-11x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

To expand, we use the FOIL method. You do this by multiplying each number inside the parenthesis by the other numbers in the other set of the parenthesis. For example, on this problem, you would multiply 5x by 2x, and then 5x by -3.

Step by step, you would:

5x * 2x = 10x^2

5x * -3 = -15x

2 * 2x = 4x

2 * -3 = -6

In an equation, it would expand to 10x^2-15x+4x-6

To simplify, you add like terms (constants and those with the same variable). In this case, you would add together all the terms ending in x.

-15x+4x=-11x

Now, you have added like terms together, so your simplified answer is 10x^2-11x-6.
