HOW DOES MY ANSWER SOUND ( QUESTION) 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.

OpenStudy (kyleighcx):

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.
