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.

Answer 1

this one seems simple-er so imma try and see what i get

Answer 2

does this mean he started off with 10 hours a week to 15 a week cause it says 5 additional hours each week

Answer 3

@dude Help

Answer 4

im thinking x= Hours played while y=Weeks

Answer 5

@Vocaloid

Answer 6

still dont know am i adding or subtracting

Answer 7

```
f(X) = 10 + 5X

f(X) is the total hours for that week

X is the week number after this plan was put in place

Graphically:

10 is the y-intercept; this is when X=0 which is when
the plan went into effect

5 is the change in the y-value for a change of 1 in the
X-value; this will raise the number of games he can
play by 5 each additional week
```

Answer 10

so Y= Hours while X=Weeks ok so f(x)=10+5x so graphically it would look like this

Answer 11

Yep

Answer 12

That Brainly tab, though. e.e

Answer 13

Feels betrayed

Answer 14

x'D i was trying to find the answer cause everyone went off line and that place sucks there is no answer

Answer 15

so i have that now how do i add the 8 weeks

Answer 16

You look at the graph and move over 8 units. Move up to where the line is at 8 units then note the y value.

Answer 17

From 0 -> 8 on the x axis

Answer 18

it lands on 50

Answer 19

Or just do math. Elsa gave you the function. X represents the weeks so substitute 8 for x then solve for y which is hours.

Answer 20

so f(x) = 10 + 5X
x=8
y=50 hours in 8 weeks

Answer 21

50=10+5(8) ?

Answer 22

Yeah, you have checked your work

Answer 23

So now you need to explain what 10 and 5 are

Answer 24

10 is the original hours that was spent playing games while 5 is the new set of ours spent on playing games?

Answer 25

Graphically

Answer 26

oh umm let me think

Answer 27

10 equals the y intercept/hours played while 5 is the extra hours being played

Answer 28

?

Answer 29

You don’t explain 5 in terms of the graph correctly.

Answer 30

how

Answer 31

Just look at the graph, what is five?

Answer 32

O.O the slope

Answer 33

Yes

Answer 34

Lol those eyes

Answer 35

ok hold on let me write all dis down now

Answer 36

The function for Peters total game play is f(x)=10+5x. y= the amount of time being played while x=the weeks he has been playing. 10 equals the y intercept/hours being played while 5 equals the slope. So Graphically it would look like y=50 Hours in 8 weeks and x= 8 weeks.

Answer 37

^is it good

Answer 38

if so i have 1 last question and im done
