Aset of weights includes a 4 lb barbell and 6 pairs of weight plates. each pair of plates weighs 20 lb. if x pairs of plates are added to the barbell, the total weight of the barbell and plates in pounds can be represented by f x( ) = 20x + 4. what is the range of the function for this situation? explain.

The range of a function is the possible output values of the function. The range of is [4,124]

Given that:

To determine the range of the function, we simply determine the value of f(x) using the input values

When no pair is added (this means x = 0).

So, we have:

When 4 pairs are added (this means x = 4).

So, we have:

When 6 pairs are added (this means x = 6).

So, we have:

f(6) is greater than f(4).

i.e.

So, the range of the function is: [0,124] or

The range of the function is the distance from the maximum of the function to the minimum of the function. The minimum amount of pairs of plates that you can add to the bar (x) is 0, meaning you add no plates. The maximum amount of plates that you can add to the bar is 6, because this is how many plates come in one weight set. The range of the function is y values, and 0 and 6 are x values, so we must plug these values into the function to find the range values.

f(x) = 20x + 4 = 20(0) + 4 = 0 + 4 = 4

f(x) = 20x + 4 = 20(6) + 4 = 120 + 4 = 124

Therefore, the range of the function is 120 pounds, or from [4, 124].

Hope this helps!

a) $ 9.50

b) 17

c) y-intercept (0, 12). this is the initial amount of money that joe had prior to playing any game.

d) x-intercept ( 24, 0). this is the number of games that joe will play before he depletes the initial amount of money that he had.

e) slope is -0.5. joe's balance will reduce by 0.5 for every game that he plays.

f)

domain; [0,24]

range; [0,12]

g) x + 2y = 24

step-by-step explanation:

a)

if joe plays 5 games, this will imply that x = 5. substitute x = 5 in the equation and solve for y;

y = -.50x + 12

y = -0.50(5) + 12

y = 9.50

b)

if joe leaves the arcade with $3.50, this will mean that y = 3.50. plug in y = 3.50 in the given equation and solve for x;

y = -.50x + 12

3.50 = -0.50x + 12

0.50x = 12 - 3.50

0.5x = 8.5

x = 17

c)

the function given is   y = -.50x + 12.

the y-intercept is the point where the graph of this function will intersect the y-axis. at this point, the value of x is usually 0. plug in x = 0 in the given equation and determine y;

y = -0.50(0) + 12

y = 12

the y-intercept is thus (0, 12). this is the initial amount of money that joe had prior to playing any game.

d)

the x-intercept refers to the point where the graph of a function intersects with the x-axis. at this point, the value of y is 0. substitute y = 0 in the given equation and solve for x;

0 =   -.50x + 12

0.5x = 12

x = 24

x-intercept ( 24, 0). this is the number of games that joe will play before he depletes the initial amount of money that he had.

e)

the slope of the given equation is -0.5. the equation has been given in slope-intercept form. thus the slope is simply the coefficient of x.

joe's balance will reduce by 0.5 for every game that he plays. this is the interpretation of the slope.

f)

domain is the set of x values for which the function is real and defined. the domain will thus be; [0,24]. this will restrict the balance to only assume positive values.

on the other hand, the range is the set of y values for which a function is real and defined. the range in our case will be [0,12]. joe can have between $0 and $12 balance.

g)

the standard form of the equation of a straight line is;

ax + by = c

where a, b, and c are integers.

our equation is given as;

y = -.50x + 12

re-writing the equation we have;

0.5x + y = 12

divide all through by 0.5;

x + 2y = 24
