A gym is offering a deal to members. Customers can sign up by paying a registration fee of $100 and $28 per month. The function that models this situation is c(m) = 28m + 100, where m is the number of months and c(m) is the cost of becoming a member.
Determine:
6. the shape of the graph



7. the independent and dependent variables


8. the domain and range


9. Interpret the slope and y-intercept values


10. How much will the membership cost for a whole year?

Respuesta :

6) The equation given is written in standard form of writing the equation of a line y = mx + b

Hence the shape of the graph that denotes the equation c(m) = 28m + 100 is a straight line

7) The independent variable is a variable that can stand alone while the dependent variable is depending on all other variables in an expression.

From the given equation c(m) = 28m + 100, the independent variable is (m) while the dependent variable is c(m)

8) The domain is the input value for which the equation exists while the rage is the output value for which the equation exists. For the given expression, the value of the expression will exist at a point where c(m) > 0

28m + 100 > 0

28m > -100

m > -100/28

m > --25/7

The domain is m > -25/7 while the range is c(m) > 0

9) The comparing the equation with y = xm+ b

where x is the slope

28m = mx

x = 28

This shows that the rate of change of cost per member is $28

The y-intercept is the point where the number of months is 0

If m = 0

c(0) = 28(0) + 100

c(0) = 100

The initial cost of membership in the first month is $100

10) Given the formula c(m) = 28m + 100

For a whole year, m = 12

c(12) = 28(12) + 100

c(12) = 336 + 100

c(12) = 436

Hence the membership will cost $436 for the whole year
