Peter played his favorite video game for 10 hours last week. Today, Peter's parents restricted him to 5 additional hours each week for the next 8 weeks. Create the function, f(x), that models Peter's total video game time, and explain what each number in the situation represents graphically, using complete sentences.

Answer 1

the required function for play time is,

\[f(x)=5x+10, x≤8\]

where x represents the # of weeks passed
10 represents the # of hours he played to start with, that is when x = 0
f(x) gives the # of hours played given the week number x

Answer 2

@AnitaS. so this function what you above wrote mean that Peter played 10 hours in last week but after the parents restriction Peter will can playing in the next first week - because you say that x represent the week number so in first week he will played 5*1+10 hours what mean 15 hours per week - so i think that will be very very beautiful for Peter because he will can playing with 5 hours much than the last week when he played 10 hours - do you think it so restriction for Peter ?

Answer 3

none of these helped

@kyleighcx: Telling your helpers that they're not helpful is a recipe for losing their support. Before you criticize their efforts, show us you own work. Somehow I suspect you've not done any.

Answer 5

So since we are creating a function we must use f(x). So the function that models Peters overall game time as well as his game time for the next 8 weeks is f(x)=5x+10, now to explain what each number in the situation represents, the f(x) is the total amount of hours he will have played at the given amount of x (the x represents the weeks) 8=x. So the 5 in the equation represents the additional hours each week, and the +10 represents the number of hours he has already played.
