The graph that represents the total monthly cost at the gym as a function of the number of visits in a month is shown by option A) and this can be determined by forming the linear equation.
Given :
A gym offers three levels of membership based on the number of visits per month.
Let the number of visits per month be 'a' and the total cost be 'b'. The correct graph that represents the total monthly cost at the gym as a function of the number of visits in a month will be:
A) For the interval of a = [0,12]
The value of b is given by:
b = 5a + 15
First, put the value of a = 0 in the above equation.
b = $15
Now, put the value of a = 12 in the above equation.
b = 60 + 15
b = $75
The interval of b = [15,75]
B) For the interval of a = [12,16]
The value of b is given by:
b = 4a + 32
First, put the value of a = 12 in the above equation.
b = 48 + 32
b = $80
Now, put the value of a = 16 in the above equation.
b = 64 + 32
b = $96
The interval of b = [80,96]
C) For the interval of a = [16,24]
The value of b is given by:
b = 3a + 42
First, put the value of a = 16 in the above equation.
b = 48 + 42
b = $90
Now, put the value of a = 24 in the above equation.
b = 72 + 42
b = $114
The interval of b = [90,114]
Therefore, the correct graph is shown in option A).
