The cost T in hundreds of dollars of tuition and fees at many colleges can be approximated by t=1/2c+5 where C is the number of credits for which a student registers graph the equation and use the graph to estimate the cost of tuition and fees when a student registers for 2 three credit courses the cost of tuition and fees when a student registers for 2-3 credit courses is blank hundreds. Type an integer or decimal
Cannot graph on these posts.
To graph the equation, we can use the given equation: T = 1/2C + 5.
To estimate the cost of tuition and fees when a student registers for 2 three-credit courses, we need to substitute C = 2 × 3 = 6 into the equation and solve for T.
Let's plot the graph first:
1. Choose a suitable range of values for C. Let's say C ranges from 0 to 12 (credits).
2. Assign values to C and calculate corresponding values for T using the equation T = 1/2C + 5.
For example, when C = 0:
T = 1/2(0) + 5 = 0 + 5 = 5
When C = 2:
T = 1/2(2) + 5 = 1 + 5 = 6
Repeat this process for other values of C.
3. Plot the (C, T) pairs on a graph with C on the x-axis and T on the y-axis.
4. Connect the points with a straight line to create the graph.
Now, let's estimate the cost of tuition and fees when a student registers for 2 three-credit courses:
From the graph, find the point on the line where C = 6 (for 2 three-credit courses).
The corresponding T-value gives us the estimated cost of tuition and fees.
Please note that without the actual values for T or mapping the actual points, we can only estimate based on the graph.
So, the estimated cost of tuition and fees when a student registers for 2 three-credit courses is ___________ hundreds.
