Problem 1

This answer will vary from person to person. And as your teacher says, you can also randomly pick a value if you aren't sure.

Let's say you spend an hour each day talking on your phone. This means voice calls and not texting. Video calling could also be part of voice calling, though it will depend on how your cell phone company structures the cell phone plan.

Anyways, let's go with 1 hour. This converts to 60 minutes.

If you talk for 60 minutes per day, then you spend 60*30 = 1800 minutes per month talking on the phone. This is an average value. I'm using 30 days per month.

Answer: 1800 minutes

=====================================================

Problem 2

For each of the 6 companies, form their respective equations

x = number of minutes

y = total cost per month

We get the following equations for each company:

  1. Rogers (all day plan): y = 0.25x
  2. Fido: y = 0.20x
  3. Telus: y = 0.35x
  4. Rogers (MY5 Prepaid): y = 0.25x+20
  5. Bell: y = 0.10x+10
  6. Public Mobile:  y = 0x+24 which simplifies to y = 24

With those 6 plans in mind, we will plug x = 1800 into each equation

Doing so leads to...

  1. Rogers (all day plan): y = 0.25x = 0.25*1800 = 450
  2. Fido: y = 0.20x = 0.20*1800 = 360
  3. Telus: y = 0.35x = 0.35*1800 = 630
  4. Rogers (MY5 Prepaid): y = 0.25x+20 = 0.25*1800+20 = 470
  5. Bell: y = 0.10x+10 = 0.10*1800+10 = 190
  6. Public Mobile:  The monthly cost is $24 a month regardless of how many minutes you use. This is an unlimited minutes plan.

So we can see that clearly Public Mobile has the lowest cost per month at $24 a month. The cost per minute of $0 means that we have unlimited minutes here. The other costs are really high and far from $24. The next smallest value is $190, which is far from $24.

Is Public Mobile always the best choice? It depends. Refer to the chart below (attached image) and you'll see that the yellow cells are instances when Public Mobile isn't the cheapest option. However, note how small x has to be for this to occur and note how the yellow cells don't show up very often. Sure we could make more yellow cells pop up if we used even smaller x values, but at a certain point, it's likely not to be realistic. Why have a cell phone plan if you don't use the minutes to talk on it? Of course, everyone is different.

Anyway, for the x value chosen in problem 1, the Public Mobile plan is the cheapest option at $24 per month.

Answer: Public Mobile

Verizon [17]

Answer:

Quantitative discrete data.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a data for the number of machines in five gyms. One gym has 12 machines, one gym has 15 machines, one gym has ten machines, one gym has 22 machines, and the other gym has 20 machines.  We are asked to determine the type of the data.

We can see that our given data represents quantity of machines, so our data will be a quantitative data.

Since each gym has a specific number of machines, so our data is discrete and it is not continuous.

Therefore, our given data is a quantitative discrete data.

Answer:

Inverse of f exists.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph attached,

If we do the horizontal line test for the function graphed,

We find the function as one to one function.

In other words for every input value (x-value) there is a different output value.

Since, for one-to-one functions, inverse of the functions exist.

Therefore, the answer will be,

The inverse of 'f' exists.
