Question

Jamal has a plan to save money for a trip. Today, Jamal deposits $8.00 into the savings account. Each week, Jamal will add $5.00 to the amount that is deposited into the savings account. The table below shows the relationship between the number of weeks and how much money, in dollars, Jamal deposits into the savings account. Week 0 1 2 3 4 Deposit (Dollars) 8 13 18 23 28 Let f(x) represent the amount of money Jamal deposits into saving account at the end of x weeks. Based on the table, what is f(8)?

Answer 1

f(8) = $48

EQUATION

f(x)= 8+5(x)

Explanation:

initial value = $8

every week there is an additional $5 added.

f(x) = 8+5x

f(8) = 8+ 5(8) = 8 + 40 = 48.

At the end of week 8 (x=8) , Jamal has $48 (y=48) saved.
