Question

A textbook company keeps track of its daily cost for printing whole textbooks to different schools but can only print up to 500 books a day. The daily cost (C) to print x number of textbooks is given by C(x) = 3.50x + 1200.
1. Using the function, determine one possible daily cost by evaluating the function for any input of your choice.
2. For what value of x does C(x) = 1900?
3. Interpret the statement C(20) = 1270.
4. Interpret the statement C(w) = p.
5. Explain whether C(40.5) = 1341.75 is correct and possible given the context of this problem.

Answer 1

Ill try my best to work with you for real cuz i really need some help with this work.

Answer 2

ill try my best c(x) = 3.50x + 1200 also would look like this in slope interce: y = mx + b
and F(x) = 3.50 + 1200

so input any value for x to evaluate i think. so try 5

Answer 3

it really just looks like you have to input values for (x)

Answer 4

Oh so it asks for the first one just any imput of my choice so like u siad try five?

Answer 5

yes, and on the last one i just filled in 40.5 for (x) and for the same thing they were asking for

Answer 6

so for the first one i can just put 40.5 for the imput?

Answer 7

i know for sure that for 1, 2, and 5 you just have to fill the value indicated in C(x) and evaluate it from there. i'm not sure what they mean by interpret though, on problem one you can put in any number you want to evaluate it.

Answer 8

O. awright so i just have to figure out what the mean for intercept right?

Answer 9

yes :)

Answer 10

awright, can you give me any suggestions on how to figure it out?

Answer 11

this page should help you, im working on math right now too lol : http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/235332/need-help-on-interpretation-of-mathematical-statements-into-math-logic

Answer 12

Awright thanks for the help (=

Answer 13
