The airline cost for x passengers, measured in thousands of passengers, to travel round trip from New York to Atlanta is given by c(x)=^0.3x+1 where (c)x is measured in millions of dollars and x>0


Find the airline’s cost for 10,000 passengers (remember, that would NOT be 10,000) to travel from New York to Atlanta. Use the equation editor to show all work. Write a sentence to explain your answer.

what does

^0.3x

mean?

should there be an x^2 in there somewhere? or just .03x ?

To find the airline's cost for 10,000 passengers to travel from New York to Atlanta, we need to substitute x = 10,000 into the given cost function c(x) = 0.3x + 1.

Using the equation editor, we can write the equation as:

c(10,000) = 0.3(10,000) + 1

Now, we can calculate the cost:

c(10,000) = 3,000 + 1

c(10,000) = 3,001

Therefore, the airline's cost for 10,000 passengers to travel from New York to Atlanta is $3,001,000.

The explanation for the answer is that we substitute the given value of x (10,000) into the cost function and perform the necessary calculations to obtain the final cost in millions of dollars.
