Question

James has decided to start saving for a cruise over the summer. His money is currently in the local bank, modeled by the function s(x) = 102. He is able to do work around the neighborhood to earn extra money and that function would be a(x) = 8(x + 2), where x is measured in hours. Explain to James how he can create a function that combines the two and describe any simplification that can be done.

Answer 1

I'm sorry, I wish I could help but I really don't know the answer to this

Answer 5

this looks like a inequality and if it is the the equation might be sort of like \[8(x+2)>102\]

Answer 6

I'd go with s(x)+a(x)

Answer 7

which is 102+8(x+2)

Answer 8

true

Answer 9

I have another problem a lot like it.

Answer 10

Christina has some money at home, and the amount is modeled by the function h(x) = 103. She read about a bank that has savings accounts that accrue interest according to the function s(x) = (1.03)x - 1. Using complete sentences, explain to Christina how she can combine her functions to create a new function, and explain what this new function means.

Answer 11

h(x)+s(x)

Answer 12

what does her function mean?

Answer 13

which function are you referring to? because there are three functions in this question

Answer 14

the question asks what the new function means...

Answer 15

h(x) is the original money, and s(x) is the interest, so what is the original money and interest combined together? :)

Answer 16

I dunno :(
