Question

Is this right?

Answer 1

James has decided to start saving for a cruise over the summer. His money is currently in the local bank, modeled by the function s(x) = 102. He is able to do work around the neighborhood to earn extra money and that function would be a(x) = 8(x + 2), where x is measured in hours. Explain to James how he can create a function that combines the two, and describe any simplification that can be done.

Answer 2

hmmmmmmm

Answer 3

My answer:

James can combine the two by doing s(x) + a(x) so it would be:
102 + 8(x + 2)
You can simplify this by distributing and adding like terms:
102 + 8x + 16
118 + 8x

Answer 4

lol @freckles Does the medal mean i did it right?

Answer 5

yes it means I thought it looked good

Answer 6

Awesome xD
Thanks man :D

Answer 7

however

Answer 8

I would have a problem with it if the money in the bank wasn't a constant function

Answer 9

like the second function was based on per hour
you know where the x was a time unit

Answer 10

but since your money is not gathering any interest then we are good
I think most banks don't give you interest per hour :p

Answer 11

but yes the answer is fine

Answer 12

lol tbh in general i wouldn't do interest even if i had the choice xD

Answer 13

I mean you know you can put your money in a savings account and the bank will give you a little bit of a percentage of it every so often

Answer 14

like a little extra percentage

Answer 15

if you leave your money and a bank account it can get bigger depending on what kinda bank account it is

Answer 16

but I do not think it gets bigger per hour

Answer 17

I feel ya :D

Answer 18

but anyways it doesn't matter since the bank account money was a constant function
