entrants. The registration fee is $150. Consider a function that represents the total registration fees the rink can collect for this event.

Answer:

Function: [tex]f(x) =\left \ {{150x;\ 0\le x\ \le 50} } \right.[/tex]

Domain: [tex]0 \le x\ \le 50[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Registration Fee = 150

Entrants = 50 (maximum)

Solving (a): Create a function

Let the number of entrants be x.

If 1 entrant pays 150, then x entrants will pay 150x.

So:

[tex]f(x) = 150x[/tex]

The minimum entrant is 0 (i.e. no entrant shows up) and from the question, the maximum is 50

So, the domain can be represented as: [tex]0 \le x\ \le 50[/tex]

Hence, the function is:  [tex]f(x) =\left \ {{150x;\ 0\le x\ \le 50} } \right.[/tex]

(b) : The domain

The domain has been described above as:

"The minimum entrant is 0 (i.e. no entrant shows up) and from the question, the maximum is 50"

"So, the domain can be represented as: [tex]0 \le x\ \le 50[/tex]"
