The yearly cost in dollars , y, at a video game arcade based on total game tokens purchased, x, is y = 1/10x + 60 for a member and y=1/5x for a nonmember. Explain how the graph of a nonmembers yearly coat woll differ from the graph of a members yearly cost

Respuesta :

Answer: The explanation is mentioned below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, for the members, the rate of token, y= x/10 + 60 ----(1)

where x represented the number of people.

While the rate of token for non members, the rate is y =x/5 -----(2)

From equation (1) and (2) we can say that the slope of line (1) is 1/10( by comparing given equation with y=mx+c)

while the slope of line (2) is 1/5

Therefore, the slope of (1)<slope of (2) ( which is also shown in graph )

Now, the value of y in case of equation (1) is higher than that of equation (2)

Therefore, The rate for member is greater than rate of non members. ( this is why the graph of equation (1) is higher than that of (2))

We summarize the conclusions:

1) Yearly costs for non-members are less than the one for members at [tex]x = 0.[/tex]

2) At low values of [tex]x[/tex], yearly costs for non-members are less than the one for members. Nevertheless, the former has higher increase rates than the latter as [tex]x[/tex] becomes greater.

3) At high values of [tex]x[/tex], yearly costs for non-members are more than the one for members.

Linear Functions are Polynomic Functions of the form:

[tex]y = m\cdot x + b[/tex] (1)

Where:

  • [tex]x[/tex] - Independent variable.
  • [tex]m[/tex] - Slope.
  • [tex]b[/tex] - y-Intercept.
  • [tex]y[/tex] - Dependent variable.

In other words, Linear Functions are characterized both by Slope and Intercept. Besides, these characteristics represent the following Variables:

Slope - Yearly cost increase rate, in dollars per total game token.

Intercept - Fixed cost, in dollars.

Based on the information given in the statement, we make the following conclusions:

1) Yearly costs for non-members are less than the one for members at [tex]x = 0.[/tex]

2) At low values of [tex]x[/tex], yearly costs for non-members are less than the one for members. Nevertheless, the former has higher increase rates than the latter as [tex]x[/tex] becomes greater.

3) At high values of [tex]x[/tex], yearly costs for non-members are more than the one for members.
