Anne has a total of 3,500 golf balls at home. She loses some golf balls when she goes out on the driving range daily. The number
of golf balls, h(x), can be represented by the function h(x) = –150x + 3,500, where x is the number of days she plays golf. Suppose 3,500 changed to 4,000. What does this mean in the context of the problem?
The y intercept changing to 4000 means that she has a total of 4,000 golf balls at home. There, she will have a greater amount of golf balls afterwards.
If you are using half as much milk every day, you'll never run out because you'll just keep using half as much. You still won't run out with the coffee shop problem or the refrigerator problem.
