Question

To prepare for the school fundraiser, juanita pays $5 for 100 cups. She also buys Fruit juice for $.50 each. Write an equation that describes the total cost. What is the domain. And what is the range?

Answer 1

Answer:

f(x) = 0.5x + 5

Domain: positive whole numbers

Range: f(x) ≥ 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's x denote the total number of fruit juice.

This means that if $0.5 for each fruit juice, then the total cost incurred for fruit juice would be $0.5x.

Since she incurred a cost of $5 for 100 cups and $0.5 for each fruit juice, then the total cost, f(x), would be:

f(x) = 0.5x + 5

The domain would be all positive whole numbers (it is restricted to positive whole numbers because a fruit juice can't be "negative" neither can it be "half").

The range is all numbers equal or greater than 5. This is because, even if she does not eventually get fruit juice, she will still incur a cost of 5usd for cups.
