Question

A computer manufacturer has found that its expenditure rate per day (in hundreds of dollars) on a certain type of job is given by where x is the number of days since the start of the job. Find the expenditure if the job takes 8 days.

Answer 1

Answer:

The expenditure would be $ 8600

Step-by-step explanation:

If the cost is given by the function

C(x)= 10x + 6   where x is the number of days

The cost for 1 day would be

C(1)= 16 *100 = 1600 $  ( the expenses are in hundreds of dollars)

Then Putting x= 8 in the given equation we get

C(8)= 10(8) + 6  

= 86

Multiplying 86 by 100 because expenditure rate per day  is in hundreds of dollars

The expenditure would be $ 8600
