A lifetime membership to the zoo cost $30 and then just $2 per visit. What is the maximum number of visits that can be made for $50 and is it modeled by a linear function or a exponential function?

Respuesta :

30+2x= 50

2x= 20
x= 10 visits

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The situation can be represented through a linear function

Amount remaining from [tex]50\\[/tex] dollars after paying an initial lifetime membership fee of [tex]30\\[/tex] dollars

[tex]= 50-30\\= 20\\[/tex] dollars

The charge of one trip is $ [tex]2\\[/tex]

Number of trips that can be done in $ [tex]20\\[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{20}{2} \\= 10\\[/tex]

So the equation for this scenario can be written as

[tex]X = 30 + 2n\\[/tex]

X is the total money

n is the number of trips
