Answer:
The domain is the set of x values for which the function resides in.
In this graph, it is unclear as to if the function goes on to infinity, but if it does, the answer is quite easily:
(-2, 4] and [7, ∞)
since the function starts on the left at -2 then continues to the right, with a pause, then indefinitely after.
Answer:
The y-intercept of the equation is 100 and represents the initial studio-use fee.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this equation, our t variable (time) is the equivalent of the x-variable on a graph. This is because it is the variable that we 'change' to see its impact on y. We see how the amount of hours affects the price. So our P variable (price) is the equivalent of y on a graph. The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis on a graph. At this point, x=0.
Since P is our y, and t is our x, to find the y-intercept, we simply need to make t = 0.
P = 50(0) + 100
P = 100
Therefore the y-intercept is 100.
In this context, t represents time, so even though the studio has been used for 0 hours, the price is still 100. This is because the 100 represents the initial studio-use fee, and using it for certain amounts of time adds onto the initial fee of $100. The hourly fee is represented by 50t so it costs $50 more for each hour of use.
