Answer:
The situation you are describing can be written as y=2x, or in this case t=2f, for every fragrance purchased there are 2 ounces of lotion that are given. Since the ounces of fragrance are not shown in this question, we can only make the graph on the ounces of lotion for every fragarance purchased. The points of the graph represent that for every fragrance bought, there is twice the amount of that in ounces of lotion. In summary, the rule is t=2f where t would equal purchases of fragrance and f would equal the ounces of lotion.
(If there is any more you would like to add to the question I can answer that.)
The question is an illustration of composite functions.
- Functions c(n) and h(n) are
and
- The composite function c(n(h)) is
- The value of c(n(100)) is
- The interpretation is: <em>"the cost of working for 100 hours is $130000"</em>
The given parameters are:
- $5000 in fixed costs plus an additional $250
- 5 systems in one hour of production
<u>(a) Functions c(n) and n(h)</u>
Let the number of system be n, and h be the number of hours
So, the cost function (c(n)) is:
This gives
The function for number of systems is:
<u>(b) Function c(n(h))</u>
In (a), we have:
Substitute n(h) for n in
Substitute
<u>(c) Find c(n(100))</u>
c(n(100)) means that h = 100.
So, we have:
<u>(d) Interpret (c)</u>
In (c), we have:
It means that:
The cost of working for 100 hours is $130000
