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.
B.) What would be a reasonable domain for this function based on this scenario? Explain why this is a proper domain.
@perl @dtan5457 @SolomonZelman I really need help with this question.
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
the fixed cost for the bracelet is 85 dollars. and each additional charm is 15 dollars
so you can use the function f(x) = 15*x + 85
can you find the domain now?
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
@mathmate can u help?
@perl
the domain are the values you can enter or plug into x , which make sense
can you plug in negative x values. does it make sense to buy -2 charms?
no
ok so we can exclude negative integers
what about fractions, can you buy half a charm ?
no
right :)
so far we excluded negative integers and fractions (decimals). so you are left with whole numbers
whole numbers, like 0,1,2,3,4...
yeah i know that part srry :)
so what do u do next?
100<=x>=?
