Question 529762: An advertising company charges $150,000 each time a 30-second commercial is aired. The cost (in thousands of dollars) to produce the commercial and air it x times is given by the function C(x)0 = 150 + 300
Graph the function.
I don't get how i graph the equation.
Thank you

The way you wrote the function, I don't blame you. is nonsense in the context of your problem. You really mean:



Leave the scale of your coordinates alone, but compress the axis so that, presuming your axis has a maximum of 10, your axis has a maximum of about 2000. Furthermore make sure your axis is labeled "$1000s" and is marked as the axis.

Next pick a positive integer for and substitute it for in your function. Do the arithmetic to determine the value of for the value you selected. Create the ordered pair and plot the point. Repeat for another positive integer value for . Draw a straight line through your two points.
