Answer:

The game gives each player an initial amount of $5,000 in virtual money. After that, a player gets $500 in virtual money for each race won. This $5000 is fixed.

Let the races won be x

So, the function that represents the amount of virtual money a player has in terms of the number of races won becomes :

[tex]f(x)=500x+5000[/tex]

The independent quantity (x) is : the number of races won

And the dependent quantity f(x) or y is : the total virtual money earned
