c. f(x)= 300 50x over 1 x
d. f(x)= 300 50x over 2 x

Answer 1

its d) f(x)= 300+50x/2+x..............................................................................

Answer 2

d

Explanation:

Lets have a look at what is given:

Teachers edition of statistics textbook sells for $150

Students edition of statistics textbook sells for $50.

Two teachers and x student books are purchased.

Let f(x) = the average cost per book

Therefore the amount of the teachers textbook cost 2*$150 = $300

and the students texbook costs x*$50= $50x

The average cost per book is:

f(x) = (300+50x)/(x+2)
