A new company is producing ant farms. They had a start-up fee of $200 and have supplies that cost $5 per ant farm. Write a linear equation that shows the cost for this new company creating a farms.
\n" ); document.write( "C(x) = 200 + 5x
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " 11. Using a table, find the cost to produce 8 farms, 10 farms and 12 farms. You will need to graph this below. Scale each axis.
\n" ); document.write( "C(8) = 200 + 5*8 = 240
\n" ); document.write( "C(10) = 200 + 5*10 = 250
\n" ); document.write( "C(12) = 200 + 5*12 = 260
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " 12. Using your graph, find the cost to produce 20 and 22 of these ant farms.
\n" ); document.write( "C(20) = 200 + 5*20 = 300
\n" ); document.write( "C(22) = 200 + 5*22
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( " 13. What does the y-intercept in this specific problem tell you?
\n" ); document.write( "C(0) = 200 + 5*0 = 200
\n" ); document.write( "It tells you the startup cost.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "14. What does the slope indicate for this specific problem?
\n" ); document.write( "slope = 5
\n" ); document.write( "It tells you the cost for each additional ant hill
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( " 15. Write this equation for the cost in function notation. Find f (100).
\n" ); document.write( "C(x) = 200 + 5x
\n" ); document.write( "C(100) = 200 + 5*100 = 700
\n" ); document.write( "------------
