Answer (with steps and explanation):
(part a):
A(1) = 2 + 0.25(1) = 2 + 0.25 = 2.25
A(7) = 2 + 0.25(7) = 2 + 1.75 = 3.75
A(30) = 2 + 0.25(30) = 2 + 7.5 = 9.5
(part b):
A(d) = 10.50
10.50 = 2 + 0.25d
10.50 - 2 = 0.25d
8.50 = 0.25d
8.50/0.25 = d,
34 = d, d = 34
(part c):
Because the child doesn't receive money half-way through the day. The .5 behind the 2 indicates that the child receives money half-way through the day which is incorrect. The domain can only be a whole number.
(part d):
Because it isn't possible to get a .10 when
increases by .25 (quarters) plus a whole number (2). The number behind the decimal can only be 0, 25, 50, or 75.
