Question

The number of visitors to a park is expected to follow the function v(x) = 6(x − 1), where x is the number of days since opening. On the first day, there will be a ceremony with 26 people in attendance. What is the function that shows total visitors, including the ceremony?

c(x) = 26 − 6(x − 1)
c(x) = 26 + 6(x − 1)
c(x) = 6(x − 1) − 26
c(x) = 100x − 100

Answer 1

2nd option

c(x) = 26+6(x-1)

Answer 2

If you would like to know what is the function that shows total number of visitors, including the ceremony, you can calculate this using the following steps:

v(x) = 6(x - 1)
26 people

c(x) = 26 + 6(x - 1)

The result would be c(x) = 26 + 6(x - 1).
