Question

The number of visitors to a park is expected to follow the function v(x) = 8(x - 1), where x is the number of days since opening. On the first day, there will be a ceremony with 32 people in attendance. What is the function that shows total visitors, including the ceremony
A c(x) = 8(x - 1) - 32
B c(x) = 32x - 8
C c(x) = 32 + 8(x - 1)
D c(x) = 32 - 8(x - 1)

Answer 1

first day, guests = 32 people

Answer 2

from next day, the visitors can be modelled using the expression : 8(x-1)

Answer 3

simply add guests to this expression to get the function that includes guests also :

32 + 8(x-1)
