Question

The function f(x) = 100x + 300 represents the cost for the physics club to attend science weekend at

the local theme park where x represents the number of students who attend. At least 4 students but

no more than 9 students will attend the fieldtrip due to transportation and chaperone restrictions.

9. Is this a discrete or continuous situation? Explain.

Answer 1

Discrete

Explanation:

Given the function:

f(x) = 100x + 300

Where ;

x = number of attendees

At least 4 students but no more than 9 students will attend the fieldtrip due to transportation and chaperone restrictions

Range of attendees :

4 ≤ x ≤ 9

Is this a discrete or continuous situation?

It is a discrete because the number of students who will attend the science weekend are finite and countable.

The number of attendees range from:

4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
