Answer:
Bike A costs $270 and has an expected maintenance cost of $36 per year.
"Bike A is the better choice if Greg plans on owning the bike for 5 years. Bike B is the better choice if Greg plans on owning the bike for 6 years."
Step-by-step explanation:
270-36x
there are 5 years so x=5
270 + 36(5) = 270 + 180 = 450
If it were 6 years than x = 6
270 + 36(6) = 270 + 216 = 486
Bike B:
360 + 20x
For option b x = 5
360 + 20(5) = 360 + 100 = 460
for option b it would be 6 years than x = 6
360 + 20(6) = 360 + 120 = 480
Hope i helped!
This cost function of purchasing a bike A
[tex]\to f1(x) = 270+ 36 x[/tex] ( The unit of x is a year)
A cost function for purchasing bike B:
[tex]\to f2(x) = 360+20x \\\\if \ \ f1(x)<f2(x)\\\\ \therefore\\\\ \to 270+36x-360+20x\ \ \ (transpose)\\\\\to 16x= 90 \\\\\to x=\frac{90}{16}=5.625\\\\[/tex]
If Greg plans to keep the bike for 5 years, Bike A is the superior option. If Greg plans to keep the bike for 6 years, Bike B is the superior option.
