Matt and 2 of his friends would like to go to the fair. It costs 5 dollars per person to get in the gate and 1 dollar per ticket. If Matt and his friends want to get in the gate and buy 50 tickets, how much will it cost all together.
The equation to my problem is y=$5.00(50x1) X =the number of people Y = the total cost
The independent variable is my x which is the number of fair tickets The dependent variable is my y which is the total cost. Y DEPENDS on x So the total cost DEPENDS on the number of the fair tickets
x$5.00xy( x, y) 15.00(1)$5.00(1, 5) 25.00(2)$10.00(2, 10) 35.00(3)$15.00(3, 15) 45.00(4)$20.00(4, 20) 55.00(5)$25.00(5,25)
Domain is the x values Range is the y values So my domain is {1,2,3,4,5} My range is {5, 10, 15, 20, 25} R A DOMAIN G E
Since my data contains points then it is a continuous graph. You can not purchase 1 ½ tickets, you can only purchase the tickets by 1, 2, 3, etc.So we will not use any of the numbers that are between 1 and 2.
A function is where there is one independent value paired with exactly one dependent value. This means that the x values Can't repeat. My X values do not repeat, then it IS a FUNCTION!
The amount of friends that went with Matt to the fair, it could cost for just her $5 or with up to 5 of her friends –$25 And that is without the fair tickets. I wonder how much that would be…..now add the $50 for tickets
