What function represents the amount of virtual money a player has in terms of the number of races won?The independent quantity is the amount of virtual money, and the dependent quantity is the . The function representing the situation is

Answer 1

The game gives each player an initial amount of $5,000 in virtual money.

Hence, the constant amount given to a player is $5000

`c=5000`

After that, a player gets $500 in virtual money for each race won.

Therefore, the slope is $500.

`m(\text{slope)}=500`

Let 'x' represents the number of races won.

Let 'y' represent the amount of virtual money a player has in terms of the number of races won.

The formula for the general function is,

`y=mx+c`

Let us substitute the values of m and c in order to obtain the function.

`y=500x+5000`

Where,

x is the independent quantity and

y is the dependent quantity.

Hence, the function is

`y=500x+5000`
