Question

1. The cost of having a carpet installed is $25.00 for the delivery plus $1.50 per square yard of carpet. Write a function that models the cost of having a carpet installed.

Answer 1

C(x) = 25 + 1.5x

Explanation:

A function is a mathematical equation that describes how two variables are related. To write a function that models the cost of having a carpet installed, we can use the information provided in the problem.

The cost of having a carpet installed is:

C(x) = 25 + 1.5x

Where C(x) represents the total cost of the carpet installation and x represents the number of square yards of carpet.

25 is a fixed cost for delivery , and $1.5 is cost per sq yard.

So, C(x) = 25 + 1.5x this function is representing the cost of having a carpet installed in x sq yard.
