Question

The number of visitors to a park is expected to follow the function v(x) = 6(x − 1), where x is the number of days since opening. On the first day, there will be a ceremony with 26 people in attendance. What is the function that shows total visitors, including the ceremony?
c(x) = 26 − 6(x − 1)
c(x) = 26 + 6(x − 1)
c(x) = 6(x − 1) − 26
c(x) = 100x − 100

Answer 1

if we treat the opening ceremony as x = 0 then it's just

a1 + 6(x − 1) where a1 = the number of people at the opening ceremony I believe.

Answer 2

So that would make it C right o.o?

Answer 3

if a1 is the number of people at the opening ceremony, then what is a1?

Answer 4

26 Sorry was in the bathroom o.o

Answer 5

good, so a1 + 6(x − 1) = ?

Answer 6

just replace a1 with 26

then see which answer choice matches

Answer 7

I got 6x + 20 o.o Im doing something wrong

Answer 8

you're overthinking this

just write a1 + 6(x − 1)
then erase a1 and write 26 in it's place

then compare what you have written down to the answer choices

Answer 9

Oh haha right, Its B. Sorry about that

Answer 10

good
