Answer:
y=120
Step-by-step explanation: 60 x 2 = 120
15x + 120
Remark
Watch out for the -4<=x<=6 thing. It causes lot's of problems if you are not careful.
Solution.
The second best answer is A and if that restriction, -4<=x<=6, wasn't there, the answer would be A.
When y = - 4, the x value falls outside the restricted domain ( -4<=x<=6) we have been given. so B is not the answer.
When x = - 4 you have to read straight down to see what the y value is. It is - 2. So this is your answer. Only exactly what is the answer. They ask for the minimum value and that is a y value in this case.
So the answer is C <<<<< Answer.
When y = 1 , x = - 2 1/2. That is within the domain, but it is not the minimum value so D is wrong.
Jack's current monthly bill is
(1200 kWh +400 kWh)*($0.075/kWh) = $120
On the interval use plan, Jack's monthly bill would be
(1200 kWh)*($0.03/kWh) + (400 kWh)*($0.15/kWh) = $36 + 60 = $96
If Jack were to switch, his savings would be $120 -96 = $24.
The appropriate choice is ...
b. Jack should switch to the interval use plan, which would save him $24 per month.
