Question

A club is started by 15 members. Each year, the club inducts 3 new members. If y is the total number of members in the club after x years, then which function models this situation?

Answer 1

The function that models this situation is a linear equation: y = 15 + 3x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that models the total number of members in the club after x years is y = 15 + 3x.

This is because the club starts with 15 members and adds 3 new members every year.

To find the total members after x years, you multiply the number of years by 3 and add the initial 15 members.
