Peter played his favorite video game for 10 hours last week. Today Peter's parents restricted him to 5 hours each week for the next 8 weeks. Create the function, f(x), that models Peter's total video game time and explain what each number in the situation represents, using complete sentences.

anonymous · Answer

not sure how to make an f(x) function lol

rsadhvika · Answer

Since he playes 5 hours each week,

$\large f(x) = 5x$

anonymous · Answer

Alright, and now he's only aloud 5 hours for 8 weeks.

rsadhvika · Answer

Since he already played 10 hours to start wid, add +10 to above

rsadhvika · Answer

$f(x) = 5x + 10$

anonymous · Answer

5x + 10

anonymous · Answer

what about the 8 week limit?

rsadhvika · Answer

we dont care, that wont come in the equation :)
may be use the equation oly for 8 weeks, and after throw it outside the window lol

anonymous · Answer

lol

rsadhvika · Answer

$f(x) = 5x + 10$ ,  $x \le $ 8

that tells to use the equation oly for 8 weeks

anonymous · Answer

wait maybe 8 gets inserted to f(8)?

rsadhvika · Answer

fine ? :)

rsadhvika · Answer

nope, nothing like that, 8 is just a constraint for function here

rsadhvika · Answer

since we dont knw how many hours he is allowed to play after 8 weeks, 
we say that, the function is GOOD oly for x <= 8

anonymous · Answer

lol so should i just write f(x) = 5x + 10?

rsadhvika · Answer

also write the constraint/condition, $x \le 8$

anonymous · Answer

alight, thanks man

rsadhvika · Answer

the required function for play time is,

$ f(x) = 5x + 10 , ~~~ x \le 8$

where x represents the # of weeks passed
10 represents the # of hours he played to start with, that is when x = 0
f(x) gives the # of hours played given the week number x
