Answer from: Amyjoe23

Let

be the number of tuxedos and C(x)

the cost of the number of tuxedos rented.
We know for our problem that the cost of renting a tuxedo is $89, so the cost of renting

tuxedos will be 89x

. We also know that the down payment is $24, so it is a single payment of 24$ no matter how many tuxedos are rented. Knowing all of this, we can conclude that the total cost of renting

will be represented by the function:
C(x)=89x+24

(a) To find the cost of renting two tuxedos, we are going to evaluate our function at x=2

. In other words, we are going to replace

with 2 in our function:
C(x)=89x+24

We can conclude that the cost of renting two tuxedos is $202

(b) To find the cost of the second tux, we need to find the average cost function first. To do that we are going to divide our cost function C(x)

:
$avC(x)= \frac{C(x)}{x}$
$avC(x)= \frac{89x+24}{x}$
$avC(x)= \frac{89x}{x} + \frac{24}{x}$
$avC(x)=89+ \frac{24}{x}$

Now that we have our average cost function, we are going to evaluate it at x=2

:
$avC(x)=89+ \frac{24}{x}$
$avC(2)=89+ \frac{24}{2}$
avC(2)=89+12

We can conclude that the cost of the second tux is $101

(c) Just like before, to find the cost of the 4,098th tux, we are going to evaluate our average cost function at x=4098

. In other words we are going to replace

with 4098 in our average cost function from our previous point:
$avC(x)=89+ \frac{24}{x}$
$avC(4098)=89+ \frac{24}{4098}$
avC(x)=89.001

We can conclude that the cost of the 4,098th tux is $89.001

(d) Variable costs are the costs that vary in direct proportion to the quantity of items. In our case the quantity of tuxedos. Looking at our function the only thing that is changing is the number of tuxedos, so the variable cost of our function is 85x

.
Fixed cost on the other hand are costs that are independent of the number of items. In our case the down payment. Does not matter how many tuxedos we rent, the down payment will always be $24. So, in our function the fixed cost is 24.

We can conclude that the variable cost is 89x

and the fixed cost is

.

(e) The marginal cost is the change in total cost that when the number of items rented increases by one unit. To find our marginal cost, we are going to fin C(1)

and

in our cost function, and then, we are going to subtract the outputs:
C(x)=89x+24

Now, we can subtract the output of C(1)

from the output of C(2)

We can conclude that the marginal cost is $89

Answer from: Quest

$a_1 = 1$ , and

$a_{n+1} = a_n + (n + 1)$ for $n \ge 1$

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote $a_1 = 1$ , $a_2 = 3$ , $a_3 = 6$ , so that we can call

1 the 1st term, 3 the 2nd term, 6 the 3rd term,etc.

note the following:

from the 1st term (1) to the 2nd term (3), we go up by 2,from the 2nd term (3) to the 3rd term (6), we go up by 3from the 3rd term (6) to the 4th term (10), we go up by 4, andfrom the 4th term (10) to the 5th term (15), we go up by 5.

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from $a_1 = 1$ , to get to $a_2 = 3$ , we add $2(=1+1)$

from $a_2 = 3$ , to get to $a_3 = 6$ , we add $3 (=2+1)$

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

$a_1 = 1$ , and $a_{n+1} = a_n +(n + 1)$ for $n \ge 1$
