Cassidy is selling popcorn for a fundraiser sale at the price shown. he purchases a total of 150 containers of popcorn to sell. after he sells 25 containers, he will make a total profit, after his upfront costs, of $5.50 cassidy's profit, after upfront costs, can be modeled by a linear function in the form of y=mx+b.

C. Will the function be discrete or continuous? Explain.

D. Write the function that models Cassidy's profit.

E. What is the domain of the function?


F. What is Cassidy's profit or loss if he does not sell any popcorn?

G. What is cassidy's profit if he sells all the popcorn?

H. What is the range of the function? ​

Respuesta :

The domain and the range of the function describes the possible profit or

loss from the sale of popcorn and the number of popcorn units.

The correct responses are;

  • C. The function is discrete
  • D. The function is; y = 1.5·x - 32
  • E. The domain is; 0 ≤ x ≤ 150
  • F. The loss when non of the popcorn is sold is $-32
  • G. The profit is $193
  • H. The range is; -32 ≤ y ≤ 193

Reasons:

The question parameters are;

The price of a popcorn = $1.5

Number of popcorn he purchases = 150

Total profit made = $5.50

The number of containers sold = 25

Therefore;

C. Given that the number of containers sole is countable, the function will be discrete.

D. Cost of the containers = Revenue - Profit

Which gives;

Cost of the containers = 1.5 × 25 - 5.5 = 32

The given function is therefore;

y = 1.5·x - 32

E. The domain is the 150 containers which gives;

The domain = 0 ≤ x ≤ 150

F. When no popcorn is sold, we have;

x = 0, which gives;

y = 1.5 × 0 - 32 = -32

If he does not sell any popcorn, the loss is $32

G. If all the popcorn are sold, we have;

x = 150

Therefore;

y = 1.5 × 150 - 32 = 193

The profit if all the popcorn are sold = $193

H. The range of the function are the possible y values, which is the possible profit or loss, which gives;

The range = -32 ≤ y ≤ 193
