The base ticket price for a football game is modeled by the function p(x) = 15x + 10, where x is the years since the team started playing football. Not included in each base ticket price is a service charge modeled by the function c(x) = 5x + 2. To find the total cost of a ticket, a fan should use what operation on the polynomials?

I think it's A or C?

anonymous · Answer

why would you think A?

anonymous · Answer

Base ticket price: p(x) = 15x + 10
Servce charge: c(x) = 5x + 2

anonymous · Answer

I honestly don't know

anonymous · Answer

Addition just seems right though :p

anonymous · Answer

you're right :) but the best way i can explain this is you aren't getting both in 1 ticket so you would buy 2 seprate tickets

anonymous · Answer

wait why would you buy 2 separate tickets?

"Not included in each base ticket price is a service charge "
