Gregory teaches martial arts. He charges a one−time processing fee of $5.00 and the cost of the classes is shown below. Let x represent the number of classes and y represent the cost of classes. Based on this information, what will it cost to take 10 classes (including processing fee)? Cost of classes (not including processing fee) Number of Classes, x 1 2 3 4 Cost of Classes, y $15.00 $27.00 $39.00 $51.00 $123.00 $125.00 $128.00 $130.00

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it is the sum of an ap where first term is 15 common difference 12 so the tenth term is 123 and including the processing fees it gives 128 for 10 classes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the formula nth term=a+(n-1)d

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

what is a n and d ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n is the term which u want to find out and d is the common difference here it is 12 and n=10

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

a is 10 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no a is the first term so it is 15

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

you can write a linear function for it

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

y = 12x + 3 . Now for 10 classes it will be 12*10 + 3 = 123 But you have to add the processing fee which is 5 dollars. So the total would be 128 dollars

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did u get the function

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

i get 123

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

you see from the table it is a linear function the x changes constantly and y changes constantly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but u have to add the processing fees i.e 5$

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

you have to add the one time processing fee 5 dollars. Because the fee table given does not include the processing fee

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

so its C right ?

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

yes
