Answer:

C. y(x) = 10 x + 1

Explanation:

Here, x represents the number of hours after 1 lap and y represents the total number of laps,

Given,

' The total laps = 1 Lap + Total laps after 1 lap '

Also, after 1 lap,

The number of laps in one hour = 10,

Thus, the number of laps in x hours = 10x

Hence, we can write,

y = 1 + 10x

Since, y is dependent on x,

So, y can be written as y(x),

Therefore, the required equation is,

y(x) = 1 + 10x

Option C is correct.
