Graph the function rule. Use labels. Explain why the graph is continuous or discrete.
The amount of money made by selling bikes depends on the number n of bikes sold. So a = 150n.
I need help with this question and better understanding it
nvm I figured it out, so on the x axis write 1, 2, 3 and on the y write 150, 250, 350. Then the dots match so if you sold 1 bike how much money do you make? 150. I hope this boy is right about discrete cause I have no idea what that means
ally is sort of right the only thing is that you would go up by 150 each time not just the first because the cost of each bike is $150. So on the X-axis put numbers 1-3 or however high you want to go and then on the Y-axis start with 150 then 300, 450, 600 and so on.
since there are only whole bikes, the function is discrete. Its graph is just a set of dots.
I need help with this too, what will the graph look like?? Where will the dots be?? At 150, 250, etc? Idk please help
Sure, I'd be happy to help! Let's start by graphing the function rule a = 150n, where a represents the amount of money made and n represents the number of bikes sold.
To graph the function, we'll plot some points. Let's choose a few values for n and calculate the corresponding values for a:
When n = 0, a = 150(0) = 0. Therefore, the point (0, 0) is one point on the graph.
When n = 1, a = 150(1) = 150. So, we have the point (1, 150).
When n = 2, a = 150(2) = 300. Therefore, the point (2, 300) is on the graph.
By connecting these points, we can draw a straight line passing through them. This line represents the relationship between the number of bikes sold and the money made.
Now, let's discuss whether the graph is continuous or discrete. In this case, the graph is continuous. Why? Well, because the function rule is linear (a straight line), there is a real number value of a for every real number value of n. In other words, we can have any number of bikes sold (whole numbers, decimals, fractions, etc.), and the amount of money made will correspond to that value.
So, the graph is continuous and represents a continuous relationship between the number of bikes sold and the amount of money made.
To graph the function rule, we need to understand the relationship between the amount of money made and the number of bikes sold.
The given function rule is: a = 150n, where "a" represents the amount of money made and "n" represents the number of bikes sold.
To graph this rule:
1. Determine the range of values for the number of bikes sold, which will be the x-axis. Let's assume it ranges from 0 to 10 (you can change this based on the context of the problem).
2. Substitute different values of "n" into the equation to calculate the corresponding amount of money made ("a"). For example, if "n" is 0, then "a" would be 0. If "n" is 1, then "a" would be 150. If "n" is 2, then "a" would be 300, and so on.
3. Plot the points (n, a) on a graph, using the values of "n" on the x-axis and the corresponding values of "a" on the y-axis.
4. Connect the plotted points with a line to indicate the relationship between the number of bikes sold and the amount of money made.
Now, let's discuss whether the graph is continuous or discrete:
A discrete graph consists of separate and distinct values, while a continuous graph represents a smooth and unbroken relationship between the variables.
In this case, since the function rule is linear (a straight line) and there are no limitations or restrictions on the values of "n," the graph will be continuous. This means that for any possible value of "n," there will be a corresponding amount of money made ("a"), and the line representing this relationship will not have any gaps or jumps.
Finally, it's important to note that in practical situations, the graph might not be strictly continuous due to real-world limitations or constraints, but for the purpose of this equation, it can be considered continuous.
