Question

Yesterday the content... An auto shop charges a customer an equal amount for each new tire purchased plus an additional fee for an oil change. The function C (t) = 87t + 32 represents the total cost, C, of getting an oil change and purchasing t tires. Yesterday in English 1.. Which values does the number 87 represent in the function?

Answer 1

We are given the following function

`C(t)=87t+32`

Where C represents the total cost of purchasing t tires and oil change.

Recall that the standard form of slope-intercept form is given by

`y=mx+b`

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Comparing the standard form with the given function we see that

slope = m = 87

y-intercept = b = 32

Therefore, the number 87 in the function represents the slope that is the cost per tire purchased.
