Question

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. Lisa specializes in baking lemon cupcakes. She bakes 3 dozen cupcakes every hour. The cost (in dollars) of making n cupcakes is given by the function C(n) = 60 + 0.45n. The function that models the number of cupcakes Lisa makes in h hours is n(h) = . The cost function in terms of hours, h, is given by . Lisa's cost for making cupcakes for 2 hours is .

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question, we are told that Lisa bakes 3dozens cupcakes every hour, to know the amount she makes in h hours, we will use the equality postulate as shown;.

3 dozens = 1hour

n(h) = h hour

Cross multiply

n(h) × 1 = 3×h

n(h) = 3h

Hence the function that models the number of cupcakes Lisa makes in h hours is n(h) = 3h

To get the cost function in terms of hours, we will find the composite function C(n(h))

C(n(h)) = C(3h)

Given C(n) = 60 + 0.45n

C(3h) is derived by substituting n as 3h in the function as shown;

C(3h) = 60+0.45(3h)

C(3h) = 60+1.35h

Hence the cost function in terms of hours, h, is given by 60+1.35h

To get the cost for making cupcakes for 2 hours, we will substitute h = 2 into the expression C(h) = 60+1.35h

C(2) = 60+1.35(2)

C(2) = 60+2.70

C(2) = 62.70

Hence the cost for making cupcakes for 2 hours is $62.70
