Question

Martin was going to the market to buy apples. The price for apples is $3.50 times the number of apples bought plus one-dollar tax. Write a polynomial function A that represents the price of apples in terms of n. If Martin bought 3^3 amount of apples. How much did the apples cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

Polynomial Function: 3.5n + 1

Total Price of the Apples: $32.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial function is 3.5n + 1:

The 3.5n comes from the $3.50 it costs to buy an apple, and the n comes from the amount of apples bought. The 1 then comes from the tax that is added onto the price.

The total price of the apples:

3.5n + 1 ; n = 3^3 = 9

(3.5 x 9) + 1

31.5 + 1

32.5

$32.50
