Question

Help me with this

A cup is 6.4 cm tall, not including a 0.6 cm lip. Cups are stacked inside one another. You may want to draw a diagram to help you see how the height of the stack of cups increases. Select the function that represents the height of a stack of cups in terms of the number of cups in the stack.

Answer 1

H(c)=6.4+0.6c

6.4 is the constant

When the height of the cups is 18.4 the function is:

18.4=6.4+0.6c

Then you subtract 6.4 from both sides to get:

18.4-6.4=6.4+0.6c-6.4

12=0.6c

c=12/.6

c=20
