Question

General admission to Paul’s Pumpkin Patch is $8.00. For children to ride the various rides, they must use tickets that cost $1.00 each. The number of tickets needed for each ride varies. The function for this situation is P(x) = x + 8, where P(x) represents total cost as a function of the number of tickets, x. What is the domain for visiting and riding rides at Paul’s Pumpkin Patch? A. P(x) ≥ $8.00 B. x is all real numbers C. x ≥ 0, where x is non-negative D. x ≥ 0, x is an integer

Answer 1

x ≥ 0, x is an integer

Explanation:

Cost of general admission = $8

Cost of 1 ticket = $1

Cost of x tickets = x

So, Total cost for x tickets = x+8

We are given that P(x) represents total cost as a function of the number of tickets, x

So, P(x)=x+8

Since cost cannot be negative

So, Domain for visiting and riding rides at Paul’s Pumpkin Patch is x ≥ 0, x is an integer

So, Option D is true.

x ≥ 0, x is an integer
