Question

For a basic subscription a cable television provider charge is an activation fee of $60 plus $125 per month. What linear function represents the total cost of a basic cable subscription subscription for two months? What is the total cost for two years of service?

Answer 1

y=125x+60

$310 for 2 months

$3060 for 2 years

Explanation:

let x be the number of months

y=125x+60

y=125(2)+60

y=310 dollars for two months

y=125(24)+60

y=3060 dollars for two years

Answer 2

The total cost for two years of service is $3060

Explanation:

Activation fee = $60

Cost of 1 month = $125

Let x be the no. of months.

So, Cost for x months = $125x

So, Total cost = 60+125x

To find the cost for 2 months

Substitute x = 2

The linear function represents the total cost of a basic cable subscription subscription for two months : Total cost = 60+125x = 60+125(2) = $310

1 year = 12 months

2 years =
`12 * 2 = 24 months`

The total cost for two years of service=60+125x = 60+125(24) = $3060

Hence The total cost for two years of service is $3060
