Repeated x values = bad bad bad :o

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Or I guess I should say, repeated "inputs"

zepdrix (zepdrix):

So notice that in table B, it maps the input 5, to two different output values, 2 and 6. No good. Not a function.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

How bout the other ones? What do you think joejoe? :d

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

nope... i dont know anything

zepdrix (zepdrix):

0_o

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

:D :P

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Table B was not a function because the 5 showed up twice in the "input" column. Use that information!! :O Look at the other options.

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

its table A

zepdrix (zepdrix):

A is a function yay good job \c:/

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

yay! can u help me wif sum more?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

mebe <.<

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

Jessica and Nancy are members of different video game libraries. Jessica pays a membership fee of $40, and she pays $5 for every video game she rents. The following function shows the total amount of money, y, in dollars, that Nancy pays for renting x number of video games: y = 4x + 30. How many more dollars does Jessica pay for a membership fee than Nancy?

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

$1 $4 $10 $36

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

@ZEPDRIX

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

oh mah gueshhh

zepdrix (zepdrix):

So like... if we were to write Jessica's information into a function, what would it look like? Let the total she pays be y, and the number of video games be x, Then she pays a total of: 5 times the number of video games `plus` 40 membership fee. \(\rm y=5x+40\)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Here is the membership fee in orange.\[\large\rm y=5x+\color{orangered}{40}\] So now when you look at the other function you were given, you should be able to determine which number is the membership fee for Nancy,\[\large\rm y=4x+30\]

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

what are you trying to say?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

The question is telling you to compare the membership fees. They didn't tell you Nancy's membership fee though, so you have to determine which number in that equation represents her membership fee.
