Question

question 4: a school group went to a carnival on a field trip. the function c(x) represents the amount of money spent in dollars, where x is the number of students. does a possible solution of (29.5, $212.50) make sense for this function? explain your answer.

Answer 1

Explanation:

only limited sense.

first of all, directly it does not make any sense. we can only send integer number of students on a field trip. not half-persons.

therefore, 29.5 students for a single field trip calculation does not make sense.

but : we could want to use the same function to calculate or analyze the costs of multiple field trips by using things like mean values of students participating. there fractions as student numbers make sense.
