1. Marco and his two younger sisters would like to purchase a silver charm bracelet for their mother’s birthday. They went to the mall and found what they were looking for at Store A. In Store A, the bracelet without charms costs $85 and each charm costs $15.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B.) What would be a reasonable domain for this function based on this scenario? Explain why this is a proper domain.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@perl @dtan5457 @SolomonZelman I really need help with this question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Any ideas for the question? I know that part of the domain is x is greater than or equal to 100, but I don't know what x is less than equal to

OpenStudy (perl):

the fixed cost for the bracelet is 85 dollars. and each additional charm is 15 dollars

OpenStudy (perl):

so you can use the function f(x) = 15*x + 85

OpenStudy (perl):

can you find the domain now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I know the function. I know part of the domain x is greater than or equal to 100. But what number is x less than or equal to? @perl

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathmate can u help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@perl

OpenStudy (perl):

the domain are the values you can enter or plug into x , which make sense

OpenStudy (perl):

can you plug in negative x values. does it make sense to buy -2 charms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (perl):

ok so we can exclude negative integers

OpenStudy (perl):

what about fractions, can you buy half a charm ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (perl):

right :)

OpenStudy (perl):

so far we excluded negative integers and fractions (decimals). so you are left with whole numbers

OpenStudy (perl):

whole numbers, like 0,1,2,3,4...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i know that part srry :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what do u do next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100<=x>=?
