The table shows the values of y for each value of x: Part A: Does the table represent a relation that is a function? Justify your answer by using the values shown in the table. Part B: The function f(h) shown below represents Kylie's total earning from working in a cafe for h hours of work: f(h) = 15h + 5 Calculate and interpret the meaning of f(8)? Part C: Write an ordered pair to represent the input and output of the function in Part B when Kylie works for r hours.

@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Look at the first column in given table

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Are there any repeated "x" values ?

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

no

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that means this relation is a function - because no x value is pointing to two different y values

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

ok.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we're done wid part A

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

did u try partB yet ? :)

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

for b do i do f(h) = 15 x 8 + 5?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Excellent ! and what does f(8) represent ?

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

f(h)?

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

or her work hours

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

try again

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the value of f(8) represents her `earning for 8 hours of working`

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

which is $125?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

f(h) = 15h + 5 f(8) = 15*8 + 5 = 120 + 5 = 125

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes ! she earns $125 if she works for 8 hours

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

yay that was quick

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes, to the partc

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

the exam i'm doing has a few more questions can you help me finish them?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

u finished partC already ?

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

Part C? i thought the ordered was f(8) = 15*8 + 5 = 120 + 5 = 125

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

ohh ok. On to part C now :D

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

nope, that was for partB

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ordered pair looks like this : \(\large (x, y )\)

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

i thought so.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Since we're given f(h) = 15h+5, the ordered pair for working "r" hours would be ?

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

15 and 5

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

it would be \((r, ~15r+5)\)

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

oh ok that makes sense.

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

Winnie rented a room at $250 per week. She also had to pay a deposit of $1200. Part A: Write a function to show the total amount of money f(n) that Winnie has to pay for renting the room for n weeks. Part B: What is the total rent that Winnie has to pay for using the room for 12 weeks? Part C: If the deposit amount decreases by $100, what would be the total rent for 6 weeks?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so the fixed payment in the start is 1200

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

and every week she has to pay $250 more

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so if she stays "n" weeks, she has to pay : 250n

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

yup

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

can u cook up the function for total amount ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

here is the function : f(n) = 1200 + 250n

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

see if that makes sense...

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we're done, we dont need to solve anything here. the question is just asking for creating the function

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the function is : f(n) = 1200 + 250n we're done wid partA.

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

alright. yay to part b now

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

simply plugin n = 12 in above equation and evaluate

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

so f(n) = 1200 + 250 x 12

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes !

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

she has to pay $4200

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

would f(n) be 4200?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes u need to say f(12) is 4200

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

f(n) is 1200 + 250n and f(12) is 4200

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

ok cool. part c now! :)

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

oh ok i see.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good, they decreased the deposit amount by $100 so the new fixed deposit amount would be 1100 instead of 1200, right ?

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

can u create the new function now ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

f(n) = ?

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

i can try

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

f(n) = 1200 - 100?

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

or like f(n) = 1100..

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats just the fixed payment in the start what about the weekly payment ? u dont want to pay weekly rent ha ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the new function is : f(n) = 1100 + 250n

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

plugin n = 6, to get how much total money u need to pay for 6 weeks

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

i was gonna say that but yeah..

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

f(n) = 1100 + 250 x 6 2600

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

2600 is \(\large \color{red}{\checkmark}\)

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

whoo!!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

I see you're very good at arithmetic :)

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

sometimes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

hahh okay i gtg eat something...

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

ok bye

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

thanks for the help
