Question

A restaurant chain currently has 240 restaurants open nationwide and is opening new restaurants at a constant rate of 15 restaurants per year. If I construct a function to model the number of restaurants this chain will have x years from now, select all of the following that represent this function.

Answer 1

The initial point is 240 and then you add 15 to it every year.

y represents the total

x represents the number of years

15 is the constant rate

240 is total right now.

use this information to create the equation.

Contact me for a session to really master these kind of problems. You have to learn how to create math expressions from words.

Answer 2

If we start with 240 restaurants at year x=0, then 240+15x describes the number of restaurants the chain will have x years from now at a rate of 15 restaurants per year. You don't list any options, so choose the answers that are closest to this.

Hope this helped!
